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 #11268, #11139, #9976, #9944, #11269
