I wrote some code 
<https://gist.github.com/aijony/8675b9b348a7c510d634f768d5ad7e8e> I would 
like to contribute, but I don't know the most appropriate place to put it.

It works like this right now


        sage: g(x,y) = x + sin(y)
        (x, y) |--> x + sin(y)
        sage: g = name('g', g)
        sage: g
        g(x, y) == x + sin(y)


I would say it is naming an expression or unnamed function to a function, 
but if it is actually doing something else, please let me know.

I am trying to discern where to put it in the code base (assuming people 
want it)

Somewhere like here 
<http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/calculus/sage/symbolic/expression_conversions.html#sage.symbolic.expression_conversions.Converter.composition>
 
made sense to me, but that might be my horrible understanding of 
programming.

This would be as function, so it would return the value like in the example 
above.

But I also was thinking of putting it in as a method in 
sage.symbolic.expression 
<http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/calculus/sage/symbolic/expression.html#symbolic-expressions>
 
as a method that mutates an expression object.
I don't know if this is allowed.

I don't think I can call this name() because symbolic.function already has 
a name() 
<http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/calculus/sage/symbolic/function.html?highlight=function#sage.symbolic.function.Function.name>

What would be some good names, I want to be short as the whole idea of this 
function is to be a short cut from
sage: g = f; f = function('f')(x) == g
to something more like
sage: f.set_name('f')

I've thought of:

   - set_name()
   - set_func()
   - assign()
   - name()
   - give_name()
   
I'd love constructive feedback.

   - Does this have a place in Sage?
      - Where?
   - What do you think of the code?
   - What would be a good name?
