Thank you for your opinions. Another question I did not think about:
Right now, for multivariate polynomials, content returns the gcd of the
coefficients, even for non principal rings. For instance, over
ZZ['t']['x,y'], (2*x + t*y).content() returns 1.
Should I mimic this behavior for univariate polynomials, or should I
raise an exception? That is: *Should content raise an exception over
non-principal rings, or return the gcd of the coefficients?*
In any case, I guess that we should be consistent between both
implementations!

I also vote for 3: command/method names should be as meaningful as
possible, especially since tab-completion means that no one ever needs
to type long names. (Short-hands such as and `gens` for generators
drive me nuts:)
The name `content` doesn't meet this aim but `content_ideal` does.
