 Good--that's the behavior without the "one variable fix" patch :)

 This morning I had an idea for helping this code get reviewed (note that
 the ticket turns 4 at the end of this month):  Could we break the review
 process into several manageable pieces, and have different people take
 responsibility for different parts?  For example, I'd propose something
 like the following:

  1. The underlying concept of the implementation (foreground ring &
 background ring, etc.)
  1. Documentation and tests
  1. `multi_power_series_ring.py`: the code accurately does what it claims
 to do
  1. `multi_power_series_ring_element.py`: the code accurately does what it
 claims to do
  1. Integration with the rest of sage: construction and use of
 `PowerSeriesRings` works correctly, and parallels behavior of polynomial
 rings
  1. Completeness of the review:  do these pieces give an essentially
 complete breakdown of the review?
