New issue 1455 by asmeurer: Split expand so that it only expands a*(x+y) =>  
a*x+a*y
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1455

It would be nice if expand was able to only expand by distributing  
multiplication, and not doing
things like pulling powers out of logs.  This in particular would help my  
implementation of combine
for combining logarithms so I can turn (a+b*I)*log(x) into  
a*log(x)+b*I*log(x), which can then
become (if x>0) log(x**a)+b*I*log(x), but not make log(x**2) => 2*log(x),  
because this is not true
without the right assumptions (x>0).
