Comment (by kcrisman):
I like `expand_sum`, and it would presumably work with `hold=True` later
as well.
> I'm much in favor of those tickets proposing functions with keywords
handling this,
In retrospect that would have been a good design discussion to have had.
Though I should say that with tab-completion, I like the current system
better. Maxima has all these flags and such, and you have to ''know''
about them. Your time is better spent adding the functionality you are -
and I know it isn't getting reviewed very quickly, but experience says
that they **will** get reviewed! A number of the people who were pretty
involved in symbolics have different jobs or school now, so they haven't
been able to be as involved. (I would have liked Burcin's input on this
naming scheme, for instance, so it's not just two people.) Pros and cons
of open source development...
