New issue 2239 by [email protected]: Change ratint to give an answer as hyperbolic functions instead of logs.
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2239

It is worth to have

integrate(1/(x**2-1))
-arctanh(x)

integrate(1/(x**4-1))
-(1/2)*arctanh(x)-(1/2)*arctan(x)

The idea is to modify standard algorithm (elementary decomposition).

So 1/(x**2-a**2) - thought to be elementary and irreducible and it's integral is equal to -(1/a)arctanh(x/a)

May be the flag should be added to be able to switch between standard and modified algorithms.

The modified one will help to solve ODE like
diff(f(x),x)+f(x)**2-1
