Which actually makes me think of one change that might be helpful. When we have a power series of infinite precision then why not print an additional O(x^oo), that is $O(x^{\infty})$. That would, indeed, help to distinguish infinite precision power series from polynomials. It only requires a minor change in _repr_ and _latex_, I suppose.
