Comment (by SimonKing):

 Why is there a double-underscore `__neg__` method as element method of
 additive groups? The reason for the single underscore arithmetic methods
 is, to my understanding, to enable the coercion model. But the coercion
 model is not involved in the case of `__neg__`, isn't it? Hence, I think
 one should keep it double underscore, and should not ask for an
 implementation via a single underscore method.
