Comment(by davidloeffler):
The docs state several times that you don't actually need to supply
zeta_order, so nobody's going to use the option in the first place unless
they've got a pretty good reason to do so. I'd rather not make the code
still more complicated! (Would it actually cause that much harm to get rid
of the zeta_order argument entirely?)
If base_ring(zeta) raises an exception, the error message will say
something like "Unable to coerce foo into bar", and it should be
reasonably clear what the problem is. With these patches, the constructor
will almost always be getting called without specifying zeta and
zeta_order anyway.
