Comment (by rws):

 As #16397 is accepted let's summarize the current situation. There are two
 doctests failing with just a different number of graphics objects, easily
 fixed, which leaves five fails in `doc/en/constructions/calculus.rst` due
 to:
  * missing `piecewise.laplace`
  * missing `piecewise.fourier_series_sine_coefficient`
  * missing `piecewise.fourier_series_cosine_coefficient`
  * missing `piecewise.fourier_series_partial_sum`
  * lambdas not coercible into SR (line 381)

 As to the last item I think the doctest could be changed to no longer use
 a lambda. Users depending on it could use `piecewise_old`. We could make
 this ticket dependent on #17701 to at least have anonymous symbolic
 functions working as in `function('newf2')(x)`.

 If people insist on lambdas and def'ed Python functions as arguments to
 `piecewise` it might be an idea to create a temporary anonymous function
 (check for `types.FunctionType`) but this depends on #17701 if the idea
 can be made to work.
