New description:

 This ticket refactors the code of WeylCharacterRing and WeightRing to use
 categories and (combinatorial) free modules. Along the way, it adds a
 couple features (Dan: please list them here), and solves a pickling issue
 which was caught by #7921:

 {{{
 sage: A2 = WeylCharacterRing(['A',2])
 sage: a2 = WeightRing(A2)
 sage: TestSuite(a2).run()
 Failure in _test_element_pickling:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 AssertionError: 2*a2(0,0,0) != 2*a2(0,0,0)
 }}}

 Indeed:
 {{{
 sage: x = a2.an_element()
 sage: x == loads(dumps(x))
 False
 }}}


 '''Apply''' [attachment: trac_7922-rebased-4.7.alpha2.patch]

 '''Remove''' the following pickles from the pickle jar:

 _class__sage_combinat_root_system_weyl_characters_WeightRing__.*
 _class__sage_combinat_root_system_weyl_characters_WeylCharacterRing_class__.*
 _class__sage_combinat_root_system_weyl_characters_WeylCharacter__.*

 '''Copy''' the contents of
 [attachment: trac_7922-new_pickles.tar.gz] into
 {{{data/ext_code/pickle_jar}}}.

Comment:

 Hi Dan,

 I just did a final proofreading, fixed a couple typos, updated
 coerce_to_sl in the doctests of the thematic tutorials, and removed some
 trailing white space and tabs.

 For me it is now all good to go. Please check my reviewer's patch on the
 sage-combinat patch server. If it's ok with you, you can fold/upload and
 set a positive review here on my behalf.

 nt.patch]

 Cheers,
                        Nicolas
