Changes (by SimonKing):

  * work_issues:  finalize the patch with the different ideas that have
                  been explored => Laurent series rings
                  are fields. Add docs. Don't use is_ring
                  and friends


Comment:

 Some of the errors are due to the fact that still some fields are not
 initialised as fields. For example: Laurent series rings.
 {{{
 sage: P = QQ[['x']]
 sage: F = Frac(P)
 sage: F.is_field()
 True
 sage: F.category()
 Category of rings
 }}}
 So, here is yet another case of a parent whose category should better be
 properly initialised.
