Hi,
I'm using sage 3.1.3 on Debian system.
Is this a bug or a feature?

sage: type(5. + RDF(5)); type(RDF(5) + 5.)
<type 'sage.rings.real_mpfr.RealNumber'>
<type 'sage.rings.real_double.RealDoubleElement'>

somehow '+' ist not comutative, allthough '5. + RDF(5) == RDF(5) + 5.'
yields 'True',
and

sage: type(RDF(pi) * 5.n(prec=53))
<type 'sage.rings.real_double.RealDoubleElement'>
sage: type(5.n(prec=53) * RDF(pi))
<type 'sage.rings.real_mpfr.RealNumber'>
sage: type(5.n(prec=54) * RDF(pi))
<type 'sage.rings.real_double.RealDoubleElement'>

especially the last one, should'nt that be coerced to a mpfr type of
53 Bit precision or is there a rule like coerce to the type with lower
precision and if both are of same precision coerce to the first one?

thanks, Georg
