Well, I'm flattered that you liked it so much. I think it should be restructured a little, though, if it is to be included anywhere (I didn't write it with documentation in mind, just as a response to some of the things that were said in this thread). And I do think that a document describing how to best deal with removable singularities in SymPy would be helpful.
So feel free to throw something up on the wiki. You can think of the wiki as a breeding grounds for documents that can eventually go into the main docs when they are matured. If anyone's interested, I did start writing up my thoughts about automatic simplification a while back (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Automatic-Simplification). It's still a work in progress, though. And it's just my opinion, so don't take it as the final word on anything. Aaron Meurer On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 7:56 PM, Alexey U.
