This is something that has come up before too. I think it might make sense to make a module-level variable in the calculus file, sage.calculus.imaginary_i or something. Set it by default to "I", but let people change it. Then the repr function for I could just return that variable. Then things won't be quite so invasive to change the printed representation. Of course, then there's the question of whether this is a good thing, or whether we should just insist on sticking to one way of printing complex numbers (ahem, except that we already have two ways, the python way using j and the Sage way using I).
