New description:

 This patch -- in the combinat queue:

 http://combinat.sagemath.org/hgwebdir.cgi/patches/file/tip
 /sf_principal_specialization-mr.patch

 implements the principal and exponential specialisations for symmetric
 functions as given in Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Section 7.8.

 Unfortunately, the patch currently has several problems:

 1) it seems that always the default code in sf/sfa.py is called, I don't
 know why

 2) I do not know how to give the desired default argument 1 the correct
 type in exponential_specialization

 3) I guess one should rather implement this for quasi-symmetric functions,
 but I do not know enough about these currently

 4) the documentation and sensible tests are still missing
