 How can one compute a partial fraction decomposition over the
 complex numbers? Consider the following:
 {{{
 sage: x = PolynomialRing(RationalField(), 'x').gen()
 sage: r = 1 /(x^4 + 1)
 sage: r.partial_fraction_decomposition()
 (0, [1/(x^4 + 1)])
 }}}
 This is ok since we explicitely work over QQ. Now compare with:
 {{{
 sage: P.<y> = PolynomialRing(RationalField())
 sage: Qbar.<y> = QuotientRing(P, y^2+1)
 sage: x = PolynomialRing(Qbar, 'x').gen()
 sage: r = 1 /(x^4 + 1)
 sage: r.partial_fraction_decomposition()
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NotImplementedError                       Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 }}}
