Comment #1 on issue 3901 by asmeu...@gmail.com: Improve integration of li(z)
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3901

I think dealing with integrands containing li is much simpler than dealing with ones that would produce li (the same with erf, or other functions defined by nonelementary integrals). In fact, the algorithms that are there may already be able to do it, but just not with enough rigor to determine if a nonresult means it is nonelementary (in the li extension).

We really ought to just rewrite risch to deal with nontranscendental extensions. I think the only difference is that we cannot assert nonelementaryness in that case, but it is not a big deal (vs. getting many more integrals for free). One does need to verify the theory to be sure of this, I think it is the case.
