 {{{

 sage: X in ModulesWithBasis(RDF)

 sage: Y in ModulesWithBasis(RDF)
 False
 sage: Y.categories()[1]

 sage: Y.categories()[1] is ModulesWithBasis(RDF)
 False
 }}}

 This weirdness relates to the fact that `ModulesWithBasis(RDF)` prints as
 the `Category of vector spaces with basis over Real Double Field`. The
 `Category of modules with basis over Real Double Field` is one of its
 super categories.

 In the case at hand I cannot construct a morphism from `Y` to `X` because
 of the category mismatch:
 {{{
 sage: Y.module_morphism(codomain=X,on_basis=lambda (i,j):X.monomial(i))
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call
 last)

 ValueError: Free module generated by Integer Ring over Real Double Field
 (+) Free module generated by Integer Ring over Real Double Field is not in
 Category of vector spaces with basis over Real Double Field
