I wonder if it would be worthwhile allowing the user to set the defaults for every function. We had the discussion about the log vs. ln notation, latex representations and a few others I don't remember any more. Quite a few of these discussions can't be resolved once and forever, simply because they are a matter of convention in different fields or user preference. If we allowed the user to set the defaults for each function, e.g. set_default(solve, solution_dict = True), some of these discussions would never have to reappear again. Otherwise, I am sure that they will reappear again and again, for different functions, or even for the same ones, when the most recent threads addressing these issues become too old to be found easily in Google Groups.
I have no idea how hard this would be to implement, though!
