 seems a good one to me.
 > It would be if users wanted `x in RR/CC` to mean `x element of
 real/complex field of exactly this precision` but the overwhelming
 majority want it to mean `x element of real/complex field regardless of
 precision`. And that's also the use cases within Sage that I have seen,
 and so I reflected it in the method description.
 But currently the precision is already taken care of in this way:
 {{{
 sage: pi.n(10) in RR
 True
 sage: pi.n(100) in RealField(50)
 True
 }}}
 Isn't this what you want to keep as the correct behaviour?
