| When n =0, k ranges from 0 to -1 so there is no k and the list
constructed in ib(n,m)
|  is just the empty list. Not an empty list of polynomials, just an empty
list.

Well, then the way 'sum' is implemented is possibly improvable?

The type information for "binomial(m*n-1, m*k)*polynomial(m,k)"
is there, regardless of what the value of the integers m, n, and k is.
(The definition of 'polynomial' here does not matter as long as it is a
polynomial.)

To see this try this:

def ib(m, n):
    R = ZZ['x']
    p = lambda m,n,k: binomial(m*n-1, m*k)*cyclotomic_polynomial(m*(k+1))
    print type(R(p(2,n,0)))
    return [p(m,n,k) for k in (0..n-1)]

for n in (0..3):
    r = ib(2,n)
    print(type(r), r)

The output includes in *all* cases
<type
'sage.rings.polynomial.polynomial_integer_dense_flint.Polynomial_integer_dense_flint'>

So why not use this information to return the zero of this ring if the sum
range (a..b) has not a <= b?
