Note that Pynac based symbolics already provides this functionality.
sage: var('a b c s',ns=1)
(a, b, c, s)
sage: prova = a*s + (b+s)*c
sage: prova.collect(s)
(a + c)*s + b*c
I hope to start the switch to use pynac as the default backend for
symbolics soon, but I'm still reluctant to give a time frame.

Please point out other functionality that you think should be exposed
through a better interface. I agree that we should do a better job in
this area.
