And hence Sage should have automatic_names as a non-default *option*. See the mission statement, which is to create a viable alternative to Maple, Mathematica, etc. I wrote automatic_names (using catching of NameError or whatever) originally. I don't remember why I put it in sagenb only, instead of Sage. I regret not just putting it in Sage, since it's been on the todo list to add this to CoCalc forever, and it seems annoying to even have to add it again. That it is missing in CoCalc Sage worksheets (and Jupyter) does result in a periodic stream of complaints from users. I don't remember, but automatic_names can (or should) print a message when it automatically creates a new symbolic variable -- this helps deal with some people's concerns... -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
