 Hi John,

 Sorry for letting this patch rot ... I like it much though! Thanks! As
 you, I am bothered by the current interaction between unique
 representation and printing customization, but don't have a good solution
 at this point.

 I just went briefly through it. Three minor suggestions:
  - The logic in print_options could be factored out using something along:
 {{{
     for option in ['latex_prefix',...]:
         if option in kwds:
             args = True
             self._print_options[option] = kwds[option]
 }}}

  - The documentation of set_print_options duplicates that of the
 constructor. Could one of them just refer to the other? ``for the options
 ... see ...``. Actually, maybe the constructor should call
 set_print_options?

  - Could we find something better than _repr_asterix? That is that would
 refer more explicitly to scalar multiplication? In MuPAD it was timesDot,
 but it's not great either.
