Python 3 dropped the coerce() built-in, but I have a situation where I'd love to use it.
I have two numbers A, B and I need to get the value of A coerced to the type of A+B. This is for a generator function that will produce a series similar to what itertools.count does. I know I can do type(A+B)(A), or A+B-B, but both alternatives are ugly and perform needless arithmetic. What do you suggest, now that the coerce() built-in is not available?
