New issue 3991 by [email protected]: Conjugate transpose of scalar exponential treated like matrix
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3991

Sympy doesn't seem to know that exponentiating a scalar results in another scalar:

In [1]: from sympy import *

In [2]: beta = symbols('beta', complex=True)

In [3]: beta.conjugate().transpose()
Out[3]: conjugate(beta)

In [4]: exp(beta).conjugate().transpose()
Out[4]: transpose(exp(conjugate(beta)))

The result should simply be: exp(conjugate(beta))

Ran into this problem using the Dagger operation in sympy.physics.quantum, where I got many instances of exp(I*alpha)*transpose(exp(-I*alpha)) that should have simplified to 1 but instead had to be simplified by hand.
