Comment(by mhansen):
This is the full docstring from Maxima:
{{{
Simplifies expr, which can contain logs, exponentials, and radicals, by
converting it into a form which is canonical over a large class of
expressions and a given ordering of variables; that is, all functionally
equivalent forms are mapped into a unique form. For a somewhat larger
class of expressions, radcan produces a regular form. Two equivalent
expressions in this class do not necessarily have the same appearance, but
their difference can be simplified by radcan to zero.
For some expressions radcan is quite time consuming. This is the cost
of exploring certain relationships among the components of the expression
for simplifications based on factoring and partial-fraction expansions of
exponents.
}}}
Perhaps we should include this
