Right, "fitting" may be the better wording. And concerning the necessity of the doctrine of immaculate conception: 13th till 19th century (before pope Pius IX. turned immaculate conception into a dogma), the Dominicans provided alternative facts, namely "Sanctificatio Mariae" instead of immaculate conception. Whereas virginal conception is accepted doctrine in Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam, immaculate conception is dogma in Catholicism, not accepted as a dogma in most other branches of Christian theology, and irrelevant to Islam. So, back to SageMath, hoping to not hurt people's feelings: According to the scripture (SageMath documentation), in sage: f(x,y) = x^2+y x and y are virginally conceived by the symbolic ring through the power of the preparser, which is commonly accepted by SageMath's followers. However, the scripture does not assert that the symbolic ring is free of sin (bugs), and thus not all followers agree on the immaculate conception of the symbolic ring.
