Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Cleaner and faster option in `fast_mul_long` that avoid coercions
 {{{
 - return parent_c(a)(0)
 + try:
 +     return parent_c(a).zero()
 + except AttributeError:
 +     return parent_c(a)(0)
 }}}

 Related note: It would be much better if this code for multiplication was
 closer to `generic_power_c` in `sage.structure.element`. And by the way,
 it would be cool to have a `generic_power_long_c`.
