Description
Multivariate polynomials exhibit this behavior:
sage: T.<a,b> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 2) sage: (~a).parent() Fraction Field of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in a, b over Rational Field
But multivariate power series don't (and should):
sage: R.<x,y> = PowerSeriesRing(QQ, 2) sage: (~x).parent() ... NotImplementedError: Multiplicative inverse of multivariate power series currently implemented only if constant coefficient is a unit.
This is the primary issue holding up resolution of the mostly unrelated issue #8972.
