Seems this thread *has* been hijacked. ;-) I believe current behavior is buried in the Sequence() constructor, which will determine a "universe" for the elements of a list. I am reasonably confident this is where entries go in matrix() if a ring is not provided, and for the purpose of finding a ring to hold all the entries, but I have never carefully looked at the code/logic for Sequence().
