Comment (by jmantysalo):
Replying to [comment:3 ncohen]:
> what do you think of `algorithm="igraph"`, where igraph is a graph
library?
That at least it is better to have only `algorithm` than both `algorithm`
and `method`. There is two keywords that we can get rid of: `method` and
`impl`.
Theoretically there is a big difference between algorithm and
implementation. For example we could have a buggy implementation of
Newton's method. But does Sage has any function that could be used like
`solve(f, algorithm='newton', implementation='buggylibrary')`?
