Comment(by mderickx):

 I guess the code underneath there is for python integers, but I'm not
 sure. I will look into your questions when I have the time.

 ps. similar practices seem to be going on a lot in arith.py I created a
 discussion on sage-devel. This discussion is not so much to discuss this
 specific example in detail, but to find a nice general solution for
 dealing with the problems involved when both using global functions an
 class methods to do the same thing.

 I guess your remark about just passing all the aruments to the class
 method instead of having a static signature should be of value in that
 discussion also.
