Oops, you are right. You can map ZZ onto an additive subgroup
of P, but that would be not canonical and hence not a coercion.

Anyway, Sage's coercion model works on the level of parents, not on the
level of elements. Hence, the fact that the element 0 has a canonical
interpretation in P is not relevant. It only matters whether or not ZZ
has a canonical morphism to P.

Best regards,
Simon
