Description

Why and where is SchurRings adding variables to the private dictionary of User?
```m2
i1 : peek User#"private dictionary"

o1 = GlobalDictionary{"i" => i }
"kk" => kk
"T" => T

i2 : needsPackage "SchurRings"; peek User#"private dictionary"

o3 = GlobalDictionary{"e" => e }
"h" => h
"i" => i
"kk" => kk
"p" => p
"s" => s
"T" => T
```

Research direction

Reproduce the two `peek User#"private dictionary"` sessions shown in the issue, including `needsPackage "SchurRings"`.
