__contains__ is broken in general and special linear groups. For example:

sage: identity_matrix(GF(2),2) in GL(2,CC)
True

The base field of the matrix is characteristic 2, but it's reported as being a 
matrix over C.

I reported this to sage-devel here: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/sage-devel/laun/sage-devel/WwovHNaUldE/lt2pFK6BeJsJ
It contains some discussion, including why using the boilerplate __contains__ 
probably won't work.

I was about to submit a bug report, when I noticed the wiki telling me to email 
sage-support first.  I already emailed sage-devel, so I hope I'm not spamming 
too much by also emailing here.
