Comment (by tscrim):

 A parent in `EnumeratedSets` is a set whose elements can be enumerated. So
 the parent, the set of all sequences, must be enumerable, not the
 sequences themselves. I'm not convinced of a ring structure, much less a
 natural one. What is the addition and multiplication operations? I would
 want addition to be concatenation given the python syntax. I'm not sure at
 a quick glance that this would give a module structure when the base
 object has a ring structure (which it may not).

 Although since the present class is for finite sequences, I agree that
 infinite sequences should be done on another ticket.
