New issue 1590 by asmeurer: Reduce powers of sin's and cos's to  
multi-argument functions
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1590

I don't know what the name of such a function would be, but we need a way  
to apply the identities:
sin(x)**2 => 1/2 - cos(2*x)/2
cos(x)**2 => 1/2 + cos(2*x)/2

There are also rules for combination of sins and cos, and higher powers.   
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trig_identities#Power-reduction_formulas.

Probably we should also have a way to go the other way too.
