Comment:
I am a bit confused: In the keywords, you name it "coercion". But in your
example, you just talk about conversion. If it really is a coercion
(please check: Does that conversion happens implicitly?) then I agree it
is a bug.
Otherwise, I'd say that a conversion that is not a coercion is allowed to
do arbitrary nasty stuff (such as `ZZ(GF(2)(1))` returning the integer 1).
