a part of my confusion comes from a puzzling (OSX-specific) error on #18888. A Mathematica object has .n() and .N(), and they are not synonyms. (n() is Sage's method, N() is Mathematica's method). However it seems that on OSX N() acts as n(), I don't understand why. Some case-insensitive stuff, I guess. > The call signature is missing, thats a bug.
