Hi all,
In sage/devel/symbolic/ring.pyx, I find this in the SymbolicRing.__init__:
self._populate_coercion_lists_(convert_method_name='_symbolic_')
Later on, I find this in SymbolicRing._element_constructor_:
elif hasattr(x, '_symbolic_'):
return x._symbolic_(self)
Isn't that check for the _symbolic_ method redundant? Is there any
reason for that check in _element_constructor_ to be there? I commented
it out and it seems to work just fine.
Thanks---I'm just trying to understand the coercion model a bit better.
Jason
