Back in 2005 I implemented a "rename" method on all parents as one way
to address this
problem. Basically:
sage: R. = PolynomialRing(GF(7)['y,z'])
sage: R
Univariate Polynomial Ring in x over Multivariate Polynomial Ring in
y, z over Finite Field of size 7
sage: R.rename('R')
R
sage:
Hi,
another argument in favor of the "explicit" representation instead of the
"short" one is that it can pass arguments, which impact the nature of the
object.
For exemple, currently univariate polynomials are rendered as ZZ['x'],
whether the polynomial ring is sparse or dense, but those are

Note that in the Jupyter notebook, having set
%display latex
you can have both outputs:
LaurentPolynomialRing(ZZ,'q')
returns
*Z*[q^{\pm 1}]
while
print(LaurentPolynomialRing(ZZ,'q'))
returns
Univariate Laurent Polynomial Ring in q over Integer Ring
By the way, I would advocate that %display
