Comment (by kcrisman):
I don't think this is the right fix.
* Breaks behavior for no reason
* Breaks with our recent trajectory of ''adding'' access to Maxima stuff
and granularity
* Makes users have to do much more than needed for the super-basic
simplifications that Maxima did
Now, maybe we should do more in `simplify`. But it seems sort of
redundant to ''remove'' `radcan` from `simplify_full` and then ''add''
everything else here anyway.
I think that it might make sense to look over the Maxima documentation and
''code'' very carefully and determine if something like the factorial
simplification truly is the same in all cases, like it would be with
`expand`. Otherwise it seems unwise to make this change.
I'm especially mystified as to what the difference between `simplify` and
`simplify_full` should be under this regime.
