-a should translate to a.__neg__() instead of Number(-1).__mul__(a) #98

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. a=object()
2. print(-a)
3.

What is the expected output? 
if __neg__ is defined for the object, it should return a value
(ie, the above should be translated to  a.__neg__()) instead of how it is 
translated:
Number(-1).__mul__(a)

Number.__mul__ would have to "know" how to work with each type of object, even 
newly defined ones.

What do you see instead?
