Since the above appears to be a very difficult question (:-), I'm going to add another one - which is actually mentioned in the thread title, but I somehow forgot to ask...
Suppose I have a class A with an __init__ method taking a single mandatory argument: class A(SageObject): def __init__(self, a, b=None, c=None): What I'd like to achieve is that A(a) yields a, if a is an instance of A. I have read a bit about unique representation and CachedRepresentation, etc., but what I really want to achieve here is, I hope, much simpler. I don't want to use CachedRepresentation, since the arguments of __init__ would be expensive to cache.
