Sage functions should always return Sage integers. A kind of corner case is if your code just works by duck-typing without ever needing a literal number. Then you should probably rely on coercion to do the right thing, so the output type matches the input type. when it is OK to treat them as equivalent, and in what cases an explicit > conversion into Integer needs to be made?
