Comment:

 I see two potential solutions, and the "info" I am seeking is: What would
 you prefer.

 We could

  1. Let `F.coerce_map_from(F)` use the cache (I think this is what I would
 prefer).
  2. Let `F.coerce(x)` avoid creating a morphism, if the parent of x is F.

 It might even make sense to do both, the latter for efficiency.
