Issue 1201: "better" tan(x**2).diff(x)
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1201

Comment #2 by mattpap:
This change does break the integrator because Risch algorithm requires  
certain
derivatives in a special form (derivative of tan(x) is a nice example).

The solution is to add context dependent derivatives (in the simplest way  
just put
appropriate derivative of tan(x) somewhere in integrals/risch.py module).  
Anyway I'm
not convinced why this change is needed at all. One can argue that  
cos(x)**(-2) or
sec(x)**2 is simpler than 1 + tan(x)**2, however the other formula does not  
involve
"new" functions.
