I have a certain integration result which Sage is currently unaware of. I 
need a way to make sage aware of it in some fashion, via substitution or 
anything else.

For example, sage currently cannot perform the following integral

sage: var(' k t')
sage: integrate(sqrt(1-k^2*sin(t)^2),t,0,pi/2)
integrate(sqrt(-k^2*sin(t)^2+1),t,0,pi/2)

In fact, the integral defines the elliptice function E(k).

Is there any way of substituting the unknown integral above for a function 
like E(k) in sage? Can sage be programmed to recognise such substitutions 
automatically?
