Comment(by malb):

 Replying to [comment:12 vbraun]:
 > Mathematically, they are of course not the same. But as far as the
 implementation goes, both are lists of polynomials with some methods
 attached. I don't understand your comment about finiteness, you can't
 generate a non-finitely generated ideal in Sage, nor could you construct
 the requisite infinite polynomial ring to evade Hilberts basis theorem.
 Moreover, I don't understand your comment about the `interreduced_basis`
 method in the ideal class. Where else but as a method of the ideal class
 should we define this functionality in OOP?

 I meant infinite but finitely generated which is for example relevant for
 set operations on them. Another example is reduction: reduction modulo the
 ideal is different from reduction modulo a list of polynomials. The method
 `interreduced_basis` assumes a particular basis for the ideal, i.e.
 violates the distinction between ideal and a list of polynomials. I'd say
 we should aim to have methods on ideals deal with ideals instead of the
 particular basis the user chose when constructing it.
