New description:
Introspection is failing on polynomial rings:
{{{
sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: R.su<tab>
R.sum R.summation
R.summation_from_element_class_add
sage: R.sum?
Object `R.sum` not found.
sage: R.sum()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call
last)
}}}
This is because polynomial rings do not yet set their category properly:
{{{
sage: QQ[x]._test_category()
------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AssertionError: category of self improperly initialized
}}}
See http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/4780192a11a8b591 for more discussion.
Many other rings are not properly initialised as well. The aim of this
ticket is to change that.
Depends on #9944

Comment:
I rebased the patch on top of sage-4.7.alpha5. It is independent of
#11115. Now I need to rebuild and do some tests, but I am confident enough
to ask for a review, again...
Depends on #9944
