 {{{characteristic()}}} relies on {{{constant_field()}}} which is not
 implemented for extensions of {{{RationalFunctionField}}}:

 {{{
 sage: K.<x> = FunctionField(QQ)
 sage: R.<y> = K[]
 sage: L.<y> = K.extension(y^2-x)
 sage: L.characteristic()
 NotImplementedError
 }}}

 The attached patch fixes this.
