The += operator cannot know if the iadd returns self or a newly created
object.  Mutable types usually do the former; non-mutable types must do
the latter.

Come to think of it: why are your polynomials mutable?

As a mathematician, I would think of polynomials as elements of
some kind of ring, and I'd expect them to be non-mutable.
