suppose to be "by using a consistent API".
Ah ok. You're right: aim for a good API. I think that the experimental
decorator is still a good idea for such a big, brand-new feature, though.
That what it was introduced for.
> I don't want to diminish their work, but sometimes after having the code
there and looking ahead, major refactoring can be needed. However, there
would likely need to be refactoring of the usual commutative polynomials
to address the issue you brought up. There could also be ways to factor
out common code from other algebras across Sage. So in short, what I'm
suggesting is to have a common abstract base class for both for the
basic/core functionality. If there is only a little overlap (I really
haven't looked), then we can just continue in our current fashion.
I agree that this would be nice and should be looked at. However, can I
suggest
that this is for another ticket (cf. Reviewer's Checklist ["The perfect is
the enemy of the
good"][http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/reviewer_checklist.html]).
That way, improvements could progress on both ends (improving code sharing
between the polynomial types, while improving skew poly functionality, and
the coding theory constructions that we will build using skew
polynomials).
