Should arithmetic functions be methods of integers?

[Kiran Kedlaya]

I was somewhat surprised to discover that such standard arithmetic
functions of integers as number_of_divisors, moebius, partitions, and
the like are only available as standalone functions, rather than methods
on the class of Sage integers. That is, number_of_divisors(n) works but
n.number_of_divisors() does not.

This is annoying for those of us who like to use tab completion to
detect functions applicable to a given object. Is there an existing trac
ticket for this issue?

Not that I can find.  I would support adding these functions to Integer.
