Eric Gourgoulhon and I were discussing the possibility of making the 
default display for the (Jupyter) notebooks be latex, and we decided that 
this might not be a good way forward because not everything has latex that 
gives valid mathjax (e.g., Partition([4,3,3,1]) uses \multicol, which is 
not supported by mathjax) and it might result in somewhat slower output 
response.

However, for beginners, we were thinking of doing this for things in the 
symbolic ring as, say, a Calc 1 student experimenting with derivatives 
would like to see something in actual math that matches the textbook rather 
than parsing some string representation. So I am proposing a new %display 
of "auto" to automatically use latex when the result is an element of SR or 
possibly some other "nice" set of objects such as matrices. Does this sound 
reasonable? If we are going forward with this, would this be something 
implemented on the Sage side?

Best,
Travis
