New issue 1756 by ronan.l...@gmail.com: Division by order terms is invalid
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1756

Sympy produces the following (wrong) results:
In [11]: 1/O(1)
Out[11]: O(1)

In [14]: 1/O(x)
Out[14]: O(1/x)

In [15]: 1/O(f(x))
Out[15]: O(1/x)

Mathematically, if f(x) = O(g(x)) (around x=x0) then 1/g(x) = O(1/f(x)),
but sympy basically assumes that 1/f(x) = O(1/g(x)), which is completely
wrong (e.g. take f(x) = x and g(x) = 1).
