Comment(by vbraun):

 About the divisor `_repr_()`: If you want prefixes then you'll have to
 live with `Dalpha`, but I think that is acceptable. I think it would be
 better if we could agree on a naming convention that works only with the
 homogeneous coordinate names, though. Different users will probably want
 different names `Dx`, `D1`, `H`, `E_i`, `O_x`, `f_x` ... depending on
 whether they think of it as a divisor, sheaf, or support function. There
 is no notation that'll make everyone happy, but if we could do `_repr_()`
 with just the homogeneous coordinates then the output will be at least
 uniform.

 How about
   * `O(x*z/y^2)`
   * `The divisor {x=0}-2*{y=0}+{z=0}`
   * Or just `{x=0}-2*{y=0}+{z=0}`

 As for the implementation, I very much prefer stuffing everything into
 `_repr_`/`_latex_`.
