Comment (by burcin):
Replying to [ticket:11912 kcrisman]:
> The plan is to rename `simplify_radical()` to `radcan()` to match the
upstream name. We can then alias `simplify_radical()` to `radcan()`, and
deprecate the `simplify_radical()` name.
Why would we use the Maxima name? It doesn't match any Sage convention. I
suggest `radical_canonicalize()` or `canonicalize_radical()` in
anticipation of other `canonicalize_*()` methods.
