Comment (by nthiery):
There is no compelling reason to have a cmp function for symmetric
functions (nor its bases). The order has no meaning, and equality testing
should be taken care of by UniqueRepresentation.
So altogether, I'd rather not add a cmp function, and instead would rather
replace the failing test by:
sage: cmp(L3Q, L3Z) != 0
which is platform independent, and is all we care about. We could even
just discard this test.
Now, I don't want to slow down the integration of this patch, so I am
happy leaving this issue for a latter ticket, at the author's choice.
Cheers,
Nicolas
