 > What is the status of this ticket? Can it be closed as fixed?

 no, the status is still the same (here with 3.4 since I cannot compile 4.1
 from source on my laptop, but I guess the behaviour
 in 4.1 is still the same):
 {{{
 sage: sin(10)
 sin(10)
 sage: Ei(10)
 2492.22897624
 sage: sin(x)
 sin(x)
 sage: Ei(x)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call

 }}}
 To be coherent, Ei(10) should return Ei(10) as sin(10) returns sin(10),
 and Ei(x) should return Ei(x) as sin(x) does return sin(x).
