Oh, wow. That's awesome. Great work!
One thing that I'd like to further reduce errors is to include TeX
inside the \sage call. For instance, right now we write:
This year is $2008=\sage{factor(2008)}$.
which, since I have to type the same thing twice, brings in the
possibility of changing one thing but not the other and introducing
errors into the document. I'd rather do something like
\renewcommand{\year}{2008} % in the preamble, or wherever
This year is $\year=\sage{factor(\year)}$.
Now the factorization is guaranteed to be correct.
We'd need to get the \year processed before writing the Sage command to
the \jobname.sage file. Is that possible?
