generator of a polynomial ring is always a polynomial type, not a symbolic

Umm... that might not happen for a little while. I can do it, though.
But if I'm going to give it a formal review, I have to make sure I check
that all those changes involving making things strings really catch what
they are supposed to, and I don't have time to do that right now, and then
make the reviewer patch, and I am slow on such things... sorry.
Also, I seem to recall there being some discussion about this on sage-
devel. It's enough of a change (particularly since there are doctests
which use the old one) that it could inconvenience some heavy users to see
the deprecation messages, so if you have a link to that discussion I'd be
interested in reading through it.
