Comment:

 attachment:trac_9634-symbolic_binomial.patch replaces the top level
 `binomial()` function with the one defined in `sage.functions.other`. This
 version can handle symbolic input, as opposed to the previous one from
 `sage.rings.arith`.

 This still needs work, since the files `sage/functions/other.py` and
 `sage/rings/arith.py` don't pass doctests yet. We need to improve the
 speed of numerical approximation using the `gamma` trick from
 `sage.rings.arith.binomial` and change `sage.symbolic.pynac.py_binomial()`
 to handle large integers.
