 Note that technically {{{``sympow -new_data 2``}}} isn't needed; {{{sage:
 sympow('-new_data 2') }}} is just as good, and has the advantage of being
 able to be included in the doctests (`# not tested`, of course).  May I
 ask for that very slight change in the "manual" patch - just so people
 don't think they ''have'' to go to the shell?

 using sympow knows what they are doing enough to read the documentation -
 or is that worth a ticket as well?

 Nor do I.
