Hmm... Is it possible to have some kind of debug mode, so that every
output would be started with type? But I can see no easy way to do it. A
decorator over `__repr__` somehow?
Of course for a one function you could have a test block
{{{
g1 = Graph({}) # Empty
g2 = Graph({1:[2]}) # Not empty
type(g1.order()) == type(g2.order())
}}}
and so on. But the basic question remains: is it an error to have, for
example, poset `width()` and `height()` return a different type? Should
every `cardinality()`-like function return Sage Integers, and if so, what
to do with `len` etc.?
