Comment:
Thanks for your suggestions Burcin. I implemented all of them, and made
some significant further changes:
Now we actually check whether each function exists, before we try to
convert the entire expression. This allows us to check several variations
of mma's function names, such as a downcased version, a down_cased
version, and the original name. In order to do this I needed to add an
option to sage.calculus.calculus._find_func() whereby it wouldn't
automatically create a symbolic function if none were present in Sage. We
now also try the same downcasing tricks for constants.
In order to convert from CamelCase to camel_case I used code from
[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1175208/does-the-python-standard-
library-have-function-to-convert-camelcase-to-camel-case stack overflow].
I presume such code is public domain and doesn't require attribution in
the docstring.
I also realised that the documentation for _sage_ won't get into Sage's
HTML documentation so I added a short section in the module's
documentation that reproduces some of the material in the docstring for
_sage_().
