Comment:

 I think that this is pretty good overall, but the random test is a little
 weak, because they are very small polys.  Check out a few!

 Instead,
 {{{
 sage: base = QQ['y']
 sage: polynomials = base['x']
 sage: f = SR(polynomials.random_element(8)); g = f.expand().collect(x);
 print f; print g; bool(f == g)
 }}}
 gives us a more robust one.  Can you think of even more crazy ones?  We
 could do arbitrarily wacky ones... but at least this show the collect in
 action; the current test rarely does, as far as I can tell.
