Comment (by ncohen):
> There is ongoing discussion about `int` vs. `Integer` in both sage-devel
and in another ticket. Nathann, just to make sure: I guess you have
nothing against changing return type of `height()` and `dimension()`?
You guess wrong. I view it as the progressive suppression of 'integers'
from Sage, for absolutely no good reason. It will make us import Integer
everywhere, and wrap infinitely many 'return x' with 'return Integer(x)',
just because people cannot stand that Sage's integer is not the default
one everywhere.
There is a discussion on #18159 on the theme "I don't mind your returning
Sage Integers if you like, but I don't see why you want to force me to do
it too".
