I was looking at another question at difference forum. I noticed integrate 
hangs when 
using %i for sqrt(-1) but returns right away when type sqrt(-1). But 
returns with an error message.

But these two should be the same.

===========================
(14) -> %i*%i

   (14)  - 1
                                                       Type: 
Complex(Integer)
(15) -> sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1)

   (15)  - 1
=========================

So why this gives error
==========================
(16) -> setSimplifyDenomsFlag(true)

integrate(x/( (x^2 - 1/5 - 2*sqrt(-1)/5)*sqrt(x^3 - x)),x)

   There are 9 exposed and 6 unexposed library operations named -
      having 2 argument(s) but none was determined to be applicable.
      Use HyperDoc Browse, or issue
                                )display op -
      to learn more about the available operations. Perhaps
      package-calling the operation or using coercions on the arguments
      will allow you to apply the operation.

   Cannot find a definition or applicable library operation named -
      with argument type(s)
                        Polynomial(Fraction(Integer))
                               AlgebraicNumber

      Perhaps you should use "@" to indicate the required return type,
      or "$" to specify which version of the function you need.
======================

But this does not give error (but seems to hang, or take long time for me 
to wait)

 integrate(x/( (x^2 - 1/5 - 2*%i/5)*sqrt(x^3 - x)),x)

I just changed sqrt(-1) by %i  and nothing else.
