Comment(by rbeezer):

 Hi Martin,

 Caught me just in time on the imports.  Thanks for the link, that was
 helpful and confirmed my understanding from before.  I can do a bit of
 cleanup on the imports, and will move one that is used twice to the top of
 the file.  Otherwise, I will largely leave all those imports in the
 constructor since I think it makes the rest of the module easier to read
 with all those segregated.

 I'm not sure {{{is_polynomial()}}} is going to work.  Consider:

 {{{
 sage: var('x y')
 (x, y)
 sage: g(x, y) = x*y
 sage: g.is_polynomial(x)
 True
 sage: g.is_polynomial(y)
 True
 sage: g.degree(x)
 1
 sage: g.degree(y)
 1
 }}}

 I think I can do worse, with negative and/or fractional exponents.  I'm
 open to ideas, but I guess I'm back to feeling there is no good way to
 confirm an arbitrary (callable) symbolic expression as being multivariate
 linear (including no constant term).  Will post a patch of changes in a
 few minutes, or later today.

 Rob
