Hi there!

I noticed the function sympy.physics.matrices.mgamma returns Dirac bases 
for gamma matrices. What if someone wants to operate in other bases?

On wikipedia there's a list of bases: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_matrix#Other_representations

It would be nice to implement all other bases (they're often used in 
textbooks), what strategy would best fit?

What about a global variable _DEFAULT_GAMMA_MATRIX_BASIS, equipped with a 
set_gamma_matrix_basis( ) and a context manager?

Using the new assumptions engine? (By the way, I don't really understand 
how to include an assumption to handle such kind of things)

Or simply put a flag on the mgamma function? Like mgamma(1, basis="weyl")
