 consider the following in Sage 5.8:
 {{{
 sage: u(n) = n^100 / 100^n; u(1.)
 1/100
 }}}
 This is inconsistent with:
 {{{
 sage: n=1.; n^100 / 100^n
 0.0100000000000000
 }}}
 and with:
 {{{
 sage: v = lambda(n): n^100 / 100^n; v(1.)
 0.0100000000000000
 }}}
 and:
 {{{
 sage: def w(n): return n^100 / 100^n
 sage: w(1.)
 0.0100000000000000
 }}}
