 Replying to [comment:28 pbruin]:

 and not a bug that the method only appears after we have forced `R` to
 refine its category...

 OK, thank you for the explanation.

 positive-reviewed (by myself!) ticket #18461. I simply did not think of
 that issue before.

 implement, instead of the two operations `_[x]gcd_univariate_polynomial`.
 That would be something for a follow-up ticket, though.

 I am not sure what would be the best solution to avoid code duplication in
 such cases, though I totally agree that it does not belong to this ticket!

 I'm running tests to check everything is OK.
