Comment (by nbruin):

 Consider
 {{{
 R=QQ['t']
 S=R['t']
 }}}
 If this results in `S==Q['t1']['t2']` then `S.basering() != R`, and in
 fact R will not coerce into `S`. That's really bad. Print names of
 generators are part of the mathematical identity of an object in Sage. We
 can't change what is supplied, since you wouldn't be producing what is
 asked for.
