Possibly, but it looks like that would be a little late for this particular
example to simplify appropriately:
sage: S=sum(((-1)^n)*((x)^(2*n+1))/factorial(2*n+1),n,0,oo)
sage: maxima_calculus("besselexpand:true")
true
sage: S.simplify_full()
sqrt(pi)*sqrt(x/pi)*sin(x)/sqrt(x)
sage: S.canonicalize_radical()
sin(x)
I'd say that avoiding bessel functions if elementary expressions are
available is appropriate, so setting the flag globally would be desirable.
The argument against is that this is not the default in Maxima. So it would
be yet another way in which our use of maxima would not be the default use,
and hence increase the chance we'd be finding obscure bugs/interactions in
Maxima.
