------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Many users of of the solve() function complain that Sage can't solve some
simple equations, when in fact it can if the `to_poly_solve=True` option
is passed. See, for example:
[http://ask.sagemath.org/question/506/solving-complex-equation]
{{{
sage: z = var('z')
sage: solve(sin(z) + cos(z) == 2, z)
[sin(z) == -cos(z) + 2]
}}}
I propose that when Maxima returns an implicit solution, solve() should
display an informative message to the user about the existence of the
`to_poly_solve` parameter.
