Hi, In the ticket of Laplace transform (see trac ticket #22422) I have the same dilemma. One could: 1- do nothing (keeping the same behaviour as, say, `symbolic_sum`), expecting that the user asks for inline help, figures out there is an 'algorithm' argument that can be changed, and tries that. 2- print a message when the returned transform is unevaluated, saying something like "Hey, there are ... available algorithms!" 3- add a new algorithm='any' (that ships by default in Sage), which works by trial and error with the available ones.
