Comment (by wdj):
Okay. It makes good sense to usually copy the default, or implement an
idea used in Maple's interface design.
But in this case, the indefinite integral of a piecewise defined function
is not well-defined. I have no idea why Maple implemented it. I'm sure
they had some reason. But IMHO Sage should not be implementing methods
which so not have a well-defined mathematical meaning as a default. As an
option (which is very well-documented), I have no objection because
whoever would be using it presumably know what it means. However, I don't
know what it means to indefinitely integrate a piecewise defined function
and your code does not explain it.
It might be useful for some, so could you please revise it a bit?
