Comment (by SimonKing):

 The example of `QQbar.coerce_map_from(ZZ)` fails as follows.

 We want that the coercion is determined by `QQbar._coerce_map_from_(ZZ)`
 (which returns True). But apparently (with my current patch, at least),
 the backtracking has preference over what is returned by
 `_coerce_map_from_`. I don't understand the reason, yet.
