> Btw (ticket description), I'd still say Sage's coercion ''is'' (a kind
of) implicit type conversion...
Ok, one might clarify that an implicit conversion (coercion) in Sage can
be performed even if the objects' types appear to be the same; but this is
not really different to other object-oriented languages (cf. virtual
functions).
