Comment:
As a user, I would be puzzled if I found at the begining of the session:
{{{
sage: InfinityRing
<sage.misc.lazy_import.LazyImport object at 0x7f51dca0e290>
sage: InfinityRing()
Zero
sage: InfinityRing
The Infinity Ring
}}}
So I think that LazyImport should have a __repr__ method that inserts the
real object in the namespace.
The problem is that once you start with this kind of things you do not
know where to stop...
{{{
sage: infinity in InfinityRing
TypeError: argument of type 'sage.misc.lazy_import.LazyImport' is not
iterable
}}}
So, what about __repr__, __contains__, _latex_, __cmp__ ? Is it worth to
add them to the class? Should this be in another ticket?
