Comment:

 Good point! I made the change and added a doctest to `call()` to
 illustrate that the bug is fixed.

 The change does give a speedup. The best case I found was running
 {{{
 sage: timeit('mputils.call(a.ei, 1.0r, parent=float)')
 }}}

 Before the old patch, I was getting about 87 micro seconds. With the new
 patch, the best time I got was about 60 micro seconds.
