Currently coercion machinery knows that it can always trivially coerce
something of type % to %, but CoercibleTo(%) gives false, so
mathematically such change is logical. Also, in testing package
when testing InputForm we get spurious warning about domain
without InputForm. But I would not rush such change. First,
we need to check if it really works. Than think if there are
any undesirable conseqences. I would prefer to first get out
release and then get back to this.
