Hello everyone,

This is a reminder that a patch for multivariate power series is
waiting for review at

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1956

The idea is to implement multivariate power series as univariate power
series over a multivariate polynomial ring; the power series variable
is then used to track total-degree precision.  This is a formailized
version of the work-around that most people use when they find out
serious multivariate power series are subtle and complicated to
implement.  So it has the double advantage of being sufficient for the
needs that have arisen, and not *so* complicated.

And I think it would be nice if that ticket could be closed before it
turns 4 (January 2011 :).

A note to new developers (like me): it would be useful just to have
people apply the patch and try out a few examples; see what works or
doesn't, and whether it behaves like you expected it to.

thanks for reading, and apologies for the nagging,
Niles
