Comment:

 I tried to review that one, but I have some questions (maybe unrelated to
 that ticket):
 {{{
 sage: R = QQbar['x']
 sage: f = R(x)
 ...
 NotImplementedError: symbol
 }}}
 This works this way:
 {{{
 sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QQbar)
 sage: f = R(x)
 }}}
 but then:
 {{{
 sage: f = R(x^2)
 sage: f.factor()
 ...
 NotImplementedError:
 }}}
 What is the point of being able to factor only constant polynomials over
 QQbar?
