Comment (by kcrisman):

 > Actually #13213 is not complete enough to start implementing this, we
 need #13256 as well !
 Thanks for pointing this out.
 > By the way, the Gaussian integers is not the only integer ring which is
 a euclidean ring ! This is True for negative discriminants -1 (Gaussian
 integers), -2, -3, -7 and -11. Moreover, some of the quadratic fields with
 positive discriminant are also norm-euclidean (see the
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_domain#Norm-Euclidean_fields
 related page] on wikipedia).
 Of course!  I am thinking of these primarily for pedagogical purposes - my
 druthers would be to have these and the Eisenstein integers, that's as
 much as I'll ever use at the undergraduate level.

 If you'd like to start this (as I believe you understand technical details
 of Sage coercion, which I do not really) by rebasing the current patch to
 those tickets in the way you indicate, I should have some time this summer
 and some motivation to help out.
