Comment:

 After thinking about this a bit more, it still seems meaningful to me to
 have an operator `//` that is different from `/`, and that returns the
 "Euclidean" quotient in the case of power series over a field.  (I am not
 sure what to do for power series over '''Z''', for example).

 However, both to warn users and because the "correct" `//` seems to be
 non-trivial to implement, it is probably good to start by deprecating the
 current behaviour where `//` behaves identically to `/`.  Hence I am
 setting this ticket back to "needs review" and propose to do the
 "meaningful" reimplementation of `//` at a later time.
