New description:
As per http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17489#comment:17 and
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/17489#comment:23, the ticket should
improve the `BuiltinFunction` class, such that subclassed function classes
that have an `algorithm=...` keyword given via function call will
automatically have this keyword inserted into any `__evalf__` member
function call.
This means the following should be possible without changes to
`Function.__call__`:
{{{
sage: from sage.symbolic.function import BuiltinFunction
sage: class MyFunction(BuiltinFunction):
....: def _evalf_(self, *args, **kwds):
....: algorithm = kwds.get('algorithm', 'algoA')
....: if algorithm == 'algoA':
....: return 1
....: else:
....: return 0
....:
sage: f = MyFunction()
sage: f(x).n()
1
sage: f(x, algorithm='algoB').n()
0
}}}
At the moment, as with all(?) symbolic functions we get
{{{
sage: f(x, algorithm='algoB')
TypeError: __call__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'algorithm'
sage: sin(x, algorithm='algoB')
TypeError: __call__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'algorithm'
}}}
So the ticket should also give a better error message for existing
functions.
