How does one tell Fricas to simplify sin(x)/cos(x) to tan(x)?

simplify(sin(x)/cos(x))  does not do the trick.

I noticed this when integrating 1/cos(x)^2 
which should return tan(x) but Fricas returned sin(x)/cos(x) 
(Ofcourse Fricas answer is correct), but tan(x) is simpler.

Should not this be an automatic simplification?
Mathematica does it without even calling Simplify.
