#5995: Membership testing for modular forms subspaces is hopeless
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  davidloeffler  |       Owner:  craigcitro
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new       
 Priority:  major          |   Milestone:  sage-4.0  
Component:  modular forms  |    Keywords:            
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 This is pretty poor, IMHO:
 {{{
 sage: M = ModularForms(17, 4)
 sage: S = M.cuspidal_submodule()
 sage: M.0 == S.0
 True
 sage: M.0 in S
 False
 }}}

 As far as I can tell at a glance this is happening because
 {{{S.__call__(x)}}} tests whether or not the parent of x has a canonical
 inclusion map to S; it should probably be testing whether the parent of x
 has a canonical inclusion map to the *ambient space* of S.

 Once the above is fixed we should also have a method {{{is_cuspidal()}}}
 for modular forms objects, which would be secretly just {{{self in
 self.parent().cuspidal_submodule()}}}. A corresponding
 {{{is_eisenstein()}}} would be good, too.
