Comment (by zabrocki):

 `from_symmetric_function` is already not a coercion.  It is just a method.
 Are you saying that you don't want to make the map from Sym -> NCSym^*^ a
 coercion?  It preserves the Hopf structure.

 For NSym/QSym I believe we have the following:
 * NSym -> Sym is a method `to_symmetric_function`
 * Sym -> QSym is a coercion and can be accessed by `B( sfelement )` where
 `B` is a basis of QSym
 * QSym -> Sym under the condition that the element in QSym `is_symmetric`
 by `qsymelement.to_symmetric_function()` or (and this is not preferred)
 `m( qsymelement )`

 All of these maps preserve the Hopf algebra structure.  Similarly for
 NCSym/NCSym^*^ we have
 * NCSym -> Sym is a method `to_symmetric_function`
 * Sym -> NCSym^*^ is a coercion and can be accessed by `w( sfelement )`
 * NCSym^*^ -> Sym under the condition that the element in NCSym^*^
 `is_symmetric` by `ncsymdelement.to_symmetric_function()` or (and this is
 not preferred) `h( ncsymdelement )`

 The maps NCSym -> Sym and NSym -> Sym are not coercions since these maps
 are projections and hence not invertible.  The inclusions of Sym ->
 NCSym^*^ and Sym -> QSym have an inverse (one sided) and so I think that
 they can be coercions.  I am not too concerned that `p( ncsymdelement )`
 doesn't work.  The reason the portal through the `h` basis works is
 because of the connection with the '''w''' basis.
