D.S. !McNeil posted several ideas for enhancing sage. This ticket is for
the enhancements proposed for the primes function.
{{{
(3) primes(10, infinity) should work.
Since we're just calling next_prime, there's no reason to require the
upper limit to be an integer.
Wouldn't mind a proof=False option which calls next_probable_prime
instead, either.
}}}

Comment:
Looks really good -- I've marked it as 'beginner', meaning that this is a
patch which someone who is just beginning could review. If no one beats
me to it, I'll go ahead and review it :)
