Description changed by rws:

Old description:

> Not only is `laguerre(n,x)` not symbolic, a naive implementation is
> already 2x as fast at `n=100` and 10x at `n=1000`:
> {{{
> R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'x')
> def lag(n):
>     return R([binomial(n,k)*(-1)^k/factorial(k) for k in xrange(n+1)])
> }}}

New description:

 Not only is `laguerre(n,x)` not symbolic, a naive implementation is
 already 2x as fast at `n=100` and 10x at `n=1000`:
 {{{
 R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'x')
 def lag(n):
     return R([binomial(n,k)*(-1)^k/factorial(k) for k in xrange(n+1)])
 }}}
