Comment (by jason):

 What is the status of this?  I noticed something else when trying to do a
 diffeq lesson:

 {{{
 sage: def unit_step(c):
 ....:         return piecewise( [( (-oo,c), 0), ((c, oo), 1)] )
 ....:
 sage: unit_step(2)
 Piecewise defined function with 2 parts, [((-Infinity, 2), 0), ((2,
 +Infinity), 1)]
 sage: unit_step(2)*unit_step(3)
 Piecewise defined function with 3 parts, [[(2, 3), 0], [(3, -Infinity),
 0], [(-Infinity, +Infinity), 1]]
 }}}

 That last multiplication just plain does not make sense.  Even the
 intervals are all messed up.
