Comment (by mmezzarobba):

 If anything I'm surprised that `(x+1).n?` works: typically `obj.foo?` only
 works reliably if `obj` is a variable, and either raises an error or
 returns nonsense otherwise. For instance:
 {{{
 sage: (x.variables()).n?
 Signature:      n(x, prec=None, digits=None, algorithm=None)
 Docstring:
    Returns a numerical approximation of an object "x" with at least
    "prec" bits (or decimal "digits") of precision.
 ...
 sage: (x.variables()).n()
 ...
 AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'n'
 }}}
