Dear Ralf, Waldek,

Due to other, by far more pressing issues, I'd like to stop work on this thread
for now.  I should have put in large letters at the beginning:

   This is a theoretical question, no need for action right now.

The concrete use case was to replace the 188 declarations of coerce by a
handful of declarations of CoercibleTo in the SPAD library.  I think that this
would make the library more user-friendly, and could be a first step towards
removing i-coerce and i-coerfn.

But I hesitate to write

UnivariatePolynomial(var, R) == with Join(CoercibleTo SUP R, 
                                          CoercibleTo Polynomial R, 
                                          CoercibleTo DMP([var], R), 
                                          CoercibleTo MPOLY([var], R) ...)

This doesn't look right.

Martin
