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.
}}}
