New description:

 `base_field` became `base_ring`...  it is very funny this bug never made
 things go bad.

 {{{
 sage: from sage.modules.free_module import FreeModule_generic_field
 sage: FreeModule_generic_field(QQ, 5, 5)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
 NameError: global name 'base_ring' is not defined
 }}}

 And in the code:
 {{{
 class FreeModule_generic_field(FreeModule_generic_pid):
     ...
     def __init__(self, base_field, dimension, degree, sparse=False):
         ...
         FreeModule_generic_pid.__init__(self, base_ring, dimension,
 degree, sparse=sparse)
 }}}

 As the creation is done with a factory, this bug is invisible from the
 user. But, if you want to build your own `FreeModule` over a field with
 category and some other stuff, calling the `__init__` of this class make
 me fall on the bug.
