I have a question regarding the apart function. I want to obtain the 
partial fractions for eq = z / (z**2-z-1) . 

The denominator has real roots solve(denom(eq)) yields [1/2 + sqrt(5)/2 , 
1/2- sqrt(5)/2], but apart does not return the partial fractions; i,e. 
apart(eq, z) = z/(z**2 - z - 1) .

Using apart(eq, z, full=True) yields RootSum(_w**2 - _w - 1, Lambda(_a, 
(_a/5 + 2/5)/(-_a + z))) which doesn't seem to be of much help (at least 
for me).

Using apart with a fraction with "simpler" roots produces the desired 
partial fractions; e.g. apart (z / (z**2+z-2), z) yields 2/(3*(z + 2)) + 
1/(3*(z - 1))

Are there any additional options I can provide to apart to obtain the 
desired result?

Thanks & regards - Clemens
