What about creating a `is_prime_integer` function? Explicit is better than 
implicit, and in that case we leave no ambiguity in the mathematical sense, 
but also cover the use case of the casual user.

What i definitely don't want is `.is_prime()` return  `True` when it is 
applied to an element that is not a prime in its parent, even if it can be 
naturally mapped to a prime integer (that includes the case of rationals, 
but also more cases: polynomials, number fields, p-adics...)
