I am trying to define piecewise linear functions, and then integrate them.
But I get an error
AttributeError: 'sage.rings.integer.Integer' object has no attribute
'function'
when one of the pieces is a constant function. Strangely, the same code
works when
the function is non-constant.
Here is a printout of a session exhibiting both the error (for a constant
piece), and correct
behavior (for a non-constant piece).

This looks like a bug.
Is there a work-around??
