Comment:

 I really really don't like this:
 {{{
 sage: X2.toric_divisor_group().scheme() is X2
 False
 }}}
 It seems to me that either schemes must be unique as well, or their
 divisor groups should be separate. I think that the second option makes
 more sense since schemes are "the main ones" and divisor groups
 automatically will be unique if their schemes decide to be uniqie.

 However this is not the problem of toric varieties only, other schemes are
 also non-unique while divisor groups are. In the long run it should be
 taken care of, but for now the attached patch offers a partial solution
 and I don't think that it creates any new problems. So positive review,
 I'll open a new ticket for the bigger problem.

 As I concluded from some discussions on sage-combinat, `FormalSum` which
 is used as a base for divisor groups should eventually be deprecated as
 `CombinatorialFreeModule` is the new way to go. Perhaps sometime we can do
 the switch and free derived objects from uniqueness decisions.
