 Replying to [comment:3 ryan]:
 > Is this supposed to be a numerical approximation of the integral
 function?
 No, this is an existing method of symbolic functions, which uses a
 different algorithm to get a numerical integral.  But you can only call it
 in
 {{{
 sage: f(x)=some_formula_with_x
 sage: f.nintegrate(...)
 }}}
 not as a top-level
 {{{
 nintegral(f,...)
 }}}
 type function.

 We should also probably make the syntax like that of `numerical_integral`
 *and* make that syntax consistent (at least as an option) with that of
 `integral` itself (see ask.sagemath.org for various problems this causes).
