Comment (by novoselt):
It follows lecture notes (based on Chavatal, I think) that I have adapted
and modified a bit.
Can you be more clear on what do you want to affect apart from printing
out dictionaries and auto-generated names?
I would be against multiple Python attribute synonyms for different parts
of the problem/dictionary - I think there has to be a meaningful name for
everything (like `basic_variables`) accompanied perhaps by one short name
(like `x_B`). Otherwise things will be too confusing, especially if
different names of the same things are used internally.
Otherwise it would be fantastic to have different output styles, perhaps
there should be even an easy way to install user formatters (without
altering Sage). Have you tried to use it in teaching, by the way?
There is also a question about "standard form" perhaps, but changing it is
likely to require different classes or the code will get too messy, that's
the point of any standard form after all - simplify notation by sticking
to some convention.
