Comment(by kcrisman):

 > Here is the issue; this function may or may not be the same as the sine
 integral.
 By which I mean it isn't the same, of course, but also that (as defined)
 it isn't even always the same constant away.  Antiderivatives can differ
 by a constant, but when the constant is different depending on what `x`
 is, that's annoying.  I think the Maxima folks would say this is a feature
 (for symbolic reasons).
