Hello,
I am trying to speed up the creation of polynomial rings. Doing so, I
rewrote most of the factory PolynomialRing and I do have a question.
What should we do with
sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'xyz')
or
sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 'abc')
I see two reasonable options:
1 - raise a ValueError saying that the variable names are specified twice
2 - ignore the duplication if the number of elements matches in which
case we choose the one from the not named argument (i.e. respectively
x,y,z and a,b,c in the examples above).
The current situation is a bug to me
sage: R.<x,y,z> = PolynomialRing(QQ,'abc')
sage: (x, y, z)
(x, y, z)
I am in favor of 1. But if anybody has arguments for 2 or something else
please tell me.
Cheers,
Vincent
