-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
When did we hijack the sum function? Based on the documentation there, I
have (today alone) had four different people come up to me and ask why
something like the following doesn't work:
{{{
sage: sum(Integer(x), x, 0, 9)
}}}
I know the reasons this shouldn't work, but newbies definitely don't. It
should say something about how to do
{{{
sage: sum( Integer(x) for x in range(10) )
}}}
before "getting all symbolic."
