Comment (by simonpj):

 > I'm dubious of the coercionRole refactor, as it undoes a refactoring I
 put in a few years ago, for performance reasons.

 I looked at what code would be needed for `coercionRole` and its a
 remarkably short and simple function.  Tobias, would to like to post the
 code?

 Richard, did you have a concrete reason for that refactoring?  Or just a
 general worry?
