Comment (by dkrenn):
If we know that a sum diverge monotonically to infinity, then the output
should say that, i.e. should be {{{oo}}}.
The reason I open the ticket is, that all sums above have the same
behavior, but the output is always different, which should not be.
And, I don't see (from a user point of view) any reason, that in
{{{
sum(m, m, 0, oo)
}}}
Sage asks "Is m positive or zero?" and in
{{{
sum(2^m, m, 0, oo)
}}}
not.
