I've just started looking into Sage and it is very impressive but I'm trying to 
do some simple things like comparing if 2 formulas are the same.  I just 
discovered bool() which apparently checks to see if the expanded forms of the 
polynomials are the same.  Example below.

x = var('x')
a = (x-1)^2
b = x^2 - 2*x + 1
bool(a==b)

Outputs: True.

Is there a function that will check to see if the expressions are exactly the 
same instead of equivalent?  I would like something like:  identical(a==b) and 
it outputs False because of the format of the expressions.

Thanks.
