Comment (by maldun):

 Replying to [comment:95 jdemeyer]:
 > One should be able to convert to maxima (otherwise, what's the point of
 introducing symbolic Chebyshev polynomials):
 > {{{
 > sage: var('n,x')
 > (n, x)
 > sage: maxima( chebyshev_T(n, cos(x)) )
 > ...
 > TypeError: unable to convert x (=n) to an integer
 > }}}

 One of the reasons I started this rewriting buisness, was the fact, that
 Maxima is very limited in respect to Orthogonal polynomials. And if we
 consider advanced use for symbolic methods like 'Creative Telescoping' it
 makes perfect sense to allow a non
 Maxima conform representation, since Sage symbolic capabilities don't
 relie on Maxima allone.
