Comment:

 Replying to [comment:7 rws]:
 > Done. Unfortunately this is Cython so I had to pick a value that signals
 default, changed to -65535 now.

 I think that replacing `int order=-65535` by `order=None` would lead to
 clearer code at a negligible performance penalty.

 Further comments:
 * The docstrings of `series_precision` and `set_series_precision` should
 have `EXAMPLE` sections.
 * The parameter `default_prec` of the Laurent series classes should be
 explained; the only explanation now is in `def default_prec(self)` which
 should be rephrased anyway ("Set ..." is not correct).
 * I'd like to see doctests showing examples on how to construct series
 with different values for `set_series_precision`
 * {{{:meth:`set_series_precision`}}} is a dead link.
