New description:

 It was suggested that my patch for #7797 be split into several parts.

 The first part shall be about ideals in non-commutative rings. Aim, for
 example:
 {{{
 sage: A = SteenrodAlgebra(2)
 sage: A*[A.0,A.1^2]
 Left Ideal (Sq(1), Sq(1,1)) of mod 2 Steenrod algebra
 sage: [A.0,A.1^2]*A
 Right Ideal (Sq(1), Sq(1,1)) of mod 2 Steenrod algebra
 sage: A*[A.0,A.1^2]*A
 Twosided Ideal (Sq(1), Sq(1,1)) of mod 2 Steenrod algebra
 }}}

 It was suggested to also add quotients by twosided ideals, although it
 will be difficult to provide examples before having letterplace ideals.

 Depends on #10961

Comment:

 Depends on #10961

 The patch is incomplete, since proper examples are missing. Proper
 examples will be provided by #7797, but Nicolas promised to try and find
 some "small" example.

 Really, all what we need is a non-commutative ring and something that
 inherits from `Ideal_nc` and provides a `reduce()` method yielding normal
 forms.

 Also, that patch is preliminary, since it copies some code from
 sage/rings/ring.pyx to sage/categories/rings.py, rather than ''moving''
 it.
