Comment(by benjaminfjones):

 OK, I made a second attempt. The patch isn't complete (I need to fix and
 add docstrings and do more testing) and is *not* ready for review, but if
 the reviewers will take a look at the basic implementation and give me
 feedback, I'd appreciate it.

 In [attachment:trac_11888_v2.patch] there is a new symbolic function
 `lambert_w_branch` which takes two arguments, a complex number `z` and an
 integer branch `n`. This is implemented using scipy.special.lambertw for
 RDF/CDF arguments z and using mpmath otherwise.

 There is also a wrapper function `lambert_w` that accepts either one or
 two arguments. For one argument it returns the principle branch
 `lambert_w_branch(z,0)`, for two it returns `lambert_w_branch(z,n)`. I
 still need to add the conversion from Maxima (by hand now, since
 `lambert_w` doesn't inherit from !BuiltinFunction any more).
