Currently, ideals $A$ of a Lie subalgebra $B$ of an ambient Lie algebra $L$ do a number of computations in $B$. However, they are more attuned to working in $L$. This causes problems for constructing quotients $B / A$ as there can be mismatches in the indices. We fix these problems by making sure that $A$ always does computations in $L$ whether it is constructed as an ideal of $B$ or of $L$.

@fchapoton Can you review this? It is a bit subtle of an issue, but it fixes a pretty bad bug with incorrect quotients.

there seems to be broken doctests

Indeed, those are real failures. I will fix them tomorrow.

Okay, I have fixed the problem. It took a bit of work to make sure all of the indices are handled correctly. As a by-product, the Lie subalgebras and ideals have their basis naturally indexed by the leading monomial of the ambient. This is a backwards incompatible change in a sense, but it was essentially necessary to fix the bug. (I could revert that portion, but it will take a bit more care.)
