Comment #9 on issue 1694 by nicolas.pourcelot: solve has many issues with  
fractions
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1694

I used simplify in other parts of the patch, and I think we should use  
simplify here too.

However, I'm not so enthusiast about "trying to solve for any one of the  
variables in
the expression", because in most cases it's much cheaper to simplify an  
expression
than to solve an equation, and additionally, sympy don't manage correctly  
equations
which are always true.

>>> solve((x+1)**2-x**2-2*x-1,x)
[]

Well, this is an other bug, and I think that much more than a simple patch  
is
required to handle this.
(Ideally, this would require that sympy properly manages intervals ; this  
would also
solve the problem of inequations solutions representation by the way).
