Comment:

 I really dislike the idea of adding a new function for each functionality
 of this kind. This makes it very hard for users to figure out the function
 name they need for a specific task.

 We should be able to provide an interface to all these "rewriting" tasks
 through a few conceptually defined methods like rewrite(), expand() and
 combine()( or contract()?).

 Francois Maltey had a proposal for a possible interface to all this. Maybe
 he can comment here, or we can discuss his proposal on sage-devel.
