 We get
 {{{
 sage: limit(cos(x),x=oo) - limit(sin(x),x=oo)
 0
 }}}

 This comes from the fact that the return value of each limit is a symbolic
 variable:
 {{{
 sage: limit(sin(x), x=oo)
 ind
 sage: type(limit(sin(x), x=oo))
 <type 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
 sage: limit(sin(x), x=oo).variables()
 (ind,)
 }}}
