Old description:

> sage: R.<x,y>=F[]
> sage: a*x+1
> (a)*x + 1
> }}}

New description:

 We have
 {{{
 sage: F.<a>=GF(9)
 sage: R.<x,y>=F[]
 sage: a*x+1
 (a)*x + 1
 }}}
 There, clearly the parentheses around `a` are unnecessary. In the
 univariate case, the phenomenon does not appear:
 {{{
 sage: S.<s>=F[]
 sage: a*s+1
 a*s + 1
 }}}

 The reason is that this should return True:
 {{{
 sage: F._repr_option('element_is_atomic')
 False
 }}}
