I am using SageMath version 8.7, Release Date 2019-03-23, within a Jupyter 
notebook.  My operating system is Windows 10.

I know some elementary Python programming, but am certainly not an expert.  
I am essentially a newbie to SageMath. 

I defined, as per the S.D.S.U. Sage Tutorial, a function

h(x) = (x^2 + x - 2)/(x - 4)
>

Upon asking SageMath 8.7 to compute

limit(h, x = 4, dir="right")
>

I received as answer

x |--> Infinity
>

While the value of the (right-hand) limit is indeed Infinity, the " x |--> " 
which precedes it in the "Out" cell suggests that the *argument* x of the 
function h is approaching Infinity, while in fact it is the *value* h(x) of 
the function which is doing so.  The argument x itself is approaching 4 
from the right.

So the *form* of the answer is misleading.  It would be better if the 
answer appeared simply as

Infinity
>

The answers to other limit calculations appear similarly to the above 
example and may be similarly criticized.
