Description: The value of the generator of the power series algebra (the X in
R [ [ X ] ] ). Since all univariate polynomial rings over a fixed
base ring R are isomorphic, we don't bother to pass this in as a
parameter; internally we are actually using the empty set as this
generator and 1o = { (/) } is the index set (but for most purposes
this choice should not be visible anyway). (Contributed by Mario
