Hello all,

I have a complex-valued symbol z, and I would like its product with its 
conjugate (z z^*) to be simplified to |z|^2. Currently sympy seems to 
consider them to be different:

from sympy import *

init_printing()

z = Symbol('z', complex=True)
pprint(simplify(z * z.conjugate() - abs(z) ** 2))

  _      2
z⋅z - │z│ 

Besides simplify() I have also tried powsimp(), with the same result. Is 
there some other simplification function that does this transformation?
