> Here is what Sage does (same system of equations, same options):
Using the same system of equations in sage does this:
{{{
sage: y=var('y')
sage: solve([x^2+y^2==2^2, (x-1)^2+(y-1)^2==2^2], [x, y],
to_poly_solve=True)
[[x == -1/2*sqrt(7) + 1/2, y == 1/2*sqrt(7) + 1/2], [x == 1/2*sqrt(7) +
1/2, y == -1/2*sqrt(7) + 1/2]]
}}}
I'm sure this is what you meant :-)
Which makes is seem that use_grobner ''is'' set to true automatically if
to_poly_solve is set to true.
I think we should forget about printing a message and just focus on fixing
the documentation, but I ran into a bit of a dead end with #12809. I guess
the failing doctests could be rewritten, or a shorter message could be
added in the documentation (e.g. "If you don't get explicit results, try
setting to_poly_solve to True.")
