---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
There should be a way to customize how a function is printed and how it is
translated into Latex, as requested on
[http://ask.sagemath.org/question/579/how-to-change-_latex_-of-log-to-ln
ask-sage].
I suggest, as a first step, to add methods `set_name()` and
`set_latex_name()` that change the value of the cdefined attributes
`_name` used for printing and `_latex_name` used for translation to latex.
Then, the following would work:
{{{
sage: tan.set_name('tg')
sage: tan
tg
sage: tan.set_latex_name(r'\tg')
sage: latex(tan)
\tg
}}}
However, that can really only be the first step. Because, when I did so, I
still got
{{{
sage: tan(x)
tan(x)
sage: latex(tan(x))
\tan\left(x\right)
}}}
Hence, in addition to that, the given latex name should be propagated to
expressions.
