I'd like to add the resultant problem I posted to sage-devel
yesterday.  It sounds like it is an actual bug, but not filed. When my
trac account gets approved I'll file a bug for it.

Hi,

Here's one:

sage: K. = NumberField(x-2/3)
sage: K.is_prime_field()
False

The code is just a bit too naive:

Source:
def is_prime_field(self):
r"""
Return True if this ring is one of the prime fields `\QQ` or `
\GF{p}`.

...
"""
return False

i.e. is probably just isn't implemented for number fields.

Once one realises that the default function returns False if it is
not
defined in a subclass, it is possible to find other examples:

sage: P. = QQ[x]
sage: R. = P.quo(x-1)
sage: R.is_field()
True
sage: R.is_prime_field()
False
