Changes (by SimonKing):

 * work_issues:  Fix QuiverRepElement.__init__ => QuiverRepHom must not
     implement __call__


Comment:

 I found the problem!

 `QuiverRepHom` overrides `__call__`, which is very bad. When implementing
 a map, one should only overload `_call_` and `_call_with_args` and a third
 method that I forgot and makes, e.g., a ring map applicable to ideals in
 the ring.

 Why is that a problem in `Parent.__call__`? Well, `Parent.__call__`
 assumes that the convert map is well-implemented and thus tries to save a
 few CPU cycles by directly calling `_call_` (not `__call__`) of the map.

 Obvious solution: Move `QuiverRepHom.__call__` to `QuiverRepHom._call_`
 resp. `QuiverRepHom._call_with_args`.
