Comment (by mmarco):
Replying to [comment:7 jhpalmieri]:
> I like the fact that the branch here uses `QuotientRing_nc`, which mine
doesn't do. On the other hand, I think that a differential graded algebra
should be endowed with a differential: the differential should not be a
separate piece of structure.
I talked with saraedum about that. My original idea was that, but it had
some problems:
1) If the differential is to be defined at creation time, we can not use
elements of the parent to determine it, so we should give tuples of
dictionaries or something like that. Not user friendly at all.
2) If we set the differential after the object creation, the parent is
mutable, which is a problem for pickling, unique representation and so on.
So after considering all, i think that this approach is a decent
compromise between user friendlyness and immutability
