I would not call this an embarrassing defect. Sage is an open source project written by volunteers that do not have an unlimited amount of time. If something is not implemented this just means no one had the time yet to do this.
It is not to difficult to actually modify the sage source code and submit the changes to trac.sagemath.org and since you already know a solution you could also help by doing this. http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/developer/coding_basics.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
