I said *exactly* that in my message too, including not being able to
remember or find the function!
I just asked Mike, and he told me it's sage.misc.citation. And indeed:
sage: import sage.misc.citation
sage: sage.misc.citation.get_systems("expand(sin(2*x))")
['ginac']
sage: sage.misc.citation.get_systems("integrate(expand(sin(2*x)),x)")
['ginac', 'Maxima']
sage: sage.misc.citation.get_systems("SymmetricGroup(3).cardinality()")
['GAP']
This is clearly not just tracking pexpect interfaces, since ginac is
not pexpect.
