Yes it can. If s == loads(dumps(s)) will be false for any element, or
raise an error, put a discussion of that fact in a docstring and put in a
doctest like this:
{{{
sage: s == loads(dumps(s))
boom or False
}}}
There's no reason to hide that this doesn't work from users.
> How do other interfaces solve that (pari, magma, maxima/pexpect, maple)
magma can't. pari has the amazing property that for any pretty much any x
in pari we have eval(str(x)) == x (with pari notation). I think the
same is true in maxima for symbolic expressions.
This code is new, so is going to be held to a higher standard before being
included than code from 2005.
