Comment:

 Can you also add a doctest that illustrates this:
 {{{
    sage: type(int(3)^2)
    ...Integer...
 }}}

 I'm in favor of this change.  It was always planned to add {{{__pow__}}}
 to the coercion model, and have Sage types be favored over Python types
 (just as the are for the other arithmetic operations), but nobody got
 around to it.  This patch doesn't make such a big sweeping change as
 adding {{{__pow__}}} to the coercion model, but it is a step in the right
 direction.
