Comment (by SimonKing):

 I think the attached branch ''is'' a progress towards a coercion system
 with a cleaner model. Even if there would remain rough edges.

 My strategy: I'll try to analyse the remaining recursion errors, since
 this is likely to point us to fundamental flows. In the best case, the
 analysis will result in a better (formulation of) the model.

 Currently, I am studying the following very simple example:
 {{{
 sage: L.<i> = NumberField(x^2 + 1); L
 Number Field in i with defining polynomial x^2 + 1
 sage: K, from_K, to_K = L.change_generator(i/2 + 3)
 <Recursion boom>
 }}}
