What I want is for a calculus student to be able to say "factor(x^2+x +1)" or "factor(x^2-x-1)" and get something useful. It would be nice to be able to specify R or C as the relevant field. Using "solve" instead of "factor" gives exactly what I would expect, namely the result of applying the quadratic formula.
