Comment #22 on issue 2552 by [email protected]: (1/(x*y)).subs(x*y, whatever) doesn't work
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=2552

Yes, I agree that the target result must be 'whatever*y**(m-n)'.

I conclude also that 'as_base_exp' can't serve as a helper procedure for the substitution, I guess that the substitution (implicit substitution in this case) is an independent process with its algorithm.

I still do not understand it well with "the concepts are one and the same." (how the simplification, cancelation, hashes and the automatic conversion collaborate each with other in the core), I will think about it later. but I afraid now the p.5 of comment #14, that it is hard to play with the parts of expressions when they automatically converted by the some private causes.
