/**
 * @name Coercion operators.
 *
 * What  is a  coercion?   Well Ruby  is  basically  an OOPL  but  it also  has
 * arithmetic operators.   They are  implemented in  OO manners.   For instance
 * `a+b` is  a binary operation  `+`, whose receiver  is `a`, and  whose (sole)
 * argument is `b`.
 *
 * The problem is, you  often want `a+b == b+a` to hold.  That  is easy if both
 * `a` and `b` belongs to the same class...  Ensuring  `1 + 2 == 2 + 1` is kind
 * of intuitive.  But  if you want `1.0 +  2 == 2 + 1.0`,  things start getting
 * complicated.  `1.0+2` is `Float#+`, while  `2+1.0` is `Integer#+`.  In order
 * to achieve the equality Float's and  Integer's methods must agree with their
 * behaviours.
 *
 * Now.  Floats  versus Integers situation  is still controllable  because they
 * are both  built-in.  But in  Ruby you can  define your own  numeric classes.
 * BigDecimal, which is a rubygems  gem distributed along with the interpreter,
 * is one  of such  examples.  Rational  was another  such example  before.  In
 * short you cannot create list of all possible combination of the classes that
 * could  be  the  operand  of  `+`  operator.  Then  how  do  we  achieve  the
 * commutativity?
 *
 * Here  comes  the concept  of  coercion.   If  a  definition of  an  operator
 * encounters an object  which is unknown to the author,  just assumes that the
 * unknown object  knows how  to handle  the situation.   So for  instance when
 * `1+x` has unknown `x`, it lets the `x` handle this.
 *
 * ```ruby
 * class Foo
 *   def +(x)
 *     if we_know_what_is_x? then
 *       ... # handle here
 *     else
 *       y, z = x.coerce self
 *       return y + z
 *     end
 *   end
 * end
 * ```
 *
 * The `x.coerce` method returns a  2-element array which are "casted" versions
 * of `x` and `self`.
