lowergamma(s,0) does not simplify to zero?
Why?

lowergamma is defined as
integrate(t**(s-1)*exp(-t),(t,0,x)))
and this is also exactly what the docstring lowergamma? tells me.

Now, if I do

In[1]: simplify(integrate(t**(s-1)*exp(-t),(t,0,x)))

(it will take *ages* until....) I finally get

Out[1]: -lowergamma(s, 0) + lowergamma(s, x)


In principle this is ok., because from lowergamma(s,x)'s definition I know that
lowergamma(s,0) = 0
However if I try to prove the latter explicitly

In [2]: 

simplify(lowergamma(y,0))

I only get

Out[2]: lowergamma(y, 0)


Why not 0?
