    1010> will be the identity for all polynomials over any base ring, except for the symbolic ring. This map may not seem useful in practise, but imagine applying some map to the coefficients, or anything more interesting. The point is that the above may be a special case of some complicated transformation you're doing on polynomials.

    12 It would only work for base rings that don't have a generator named `t` in them
     12That example doesn't work because sage refuses in a lot of cases to construct a suitable parent. Try:
     13{{{
     14transformation(ZZ['a']['b']([1,2,3]))
     15}}}
     16If it did work, it would only work for base rings that don't have a generator named `t` in them

    21 The fact that sage attaches meaning to print names of variables really does have some profound effects.
