Comment #7 on issue 1736 by ronan.l...@gmail.com: Refactor pattern matching  
and substitution
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1736

"Why do you use Rational(1) instead of S.one?"

For no good reason. It was just convenient to replace Rational(sign) with
Rational(1). This part of the code probably needs further refactoring  
anyway.

"What is the motivation of atomic_subs()?"

The idea is to perform purely structural substitution - i.e. considering  
only the
expression tree and not at all the mathematical meaning. The need for this  
has been
mentioned several times already, most recently in issue 1520 and also in  
issue 666.
