Does anyone know what's up with this weird error? Sage can multiply a
symbolic variable and a constant of a polynomial ring R but not a
symbolic variable and an element of R.base_ring().
Alex
sage: var('t')
t
sage: K.<a>= NumberField(t^2+2,'a')
sage: R.<x>= PolynomialRing(K)
sage: t*R(a)
a*t
sage: t*a
