Hi.

Unfortunately, solve currently does not have that implemented.  

In [66]: solve(cos(x), x)
Out[66]: 
⎡π⎤
⎢─⎥
⎣2⎦

You could trick it into giving you the solutions you want by doing something 
like

In [67]: solve(cos(x - n*pi), x)
Out[67]: 
⎡π + 2⋅π⋅n⎤
⎢─────────⎥
⎣    2    ⎦

but that only works if you know ahead of time that the solutions are periodic 
with period n*pi.

But I think we should implement it in solve to be able to return the kind of 
solutions that you want.
