And did you actually look at the linked patch?

Not when I wrote that note.

I looked at http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~eviatarb/?e=11

If this is what dlmf is supposed to be upgraded to include, that's what I was complaining about.


On your prompting, I looked at, for example,
http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/2516

which indeed comments on some symbolic manipulation. It looks like some was done 3 years ago, and is in various stages of incompletion. Perhaps characterization of what you can do is in order, rather than requiring searching through patches and finding out if you include (say) differentiation, simplification (if so, how much), arbitrary precision evaluation, interaction between simplification and assumptions,
solve, etc.
