Then document the opposite (of what '''I''' stated) ;-)
(I thought this was said in some Sage documentation, but it seems I took
this assumption from Robert's statement:
"In Python, the convention is that == and != never raise an error, so
False is returned if coercion fails (the two domains are incompatible)."
