Comment(by SimonKing):

 Thank you, William!

 Replying to [comment:13 was]:

 Interesting! The point of that doc test was to show that something does
 not work: One would hope to get {{{alpha_2}}}, but due to a wrong usage
 one gets {{{alpha_0}}} on my machine or {{{alpha_1}}} on 32-bit Ubuntu.

 I'll try to find a better way to demonstrate "how not to use
 {{{InfinitePolynomial}}}".

 Thanks, I actually expected that the hash value has changed.

 So, soon there will be a second patch that fixes the first.
