If you modify trigsimp here is another problem.  For this code:

from sympy import *
x = Symbol('x')
y = Symbol('y')
e = cos(x)*tan(x)
print e
print trigsimp(e)

The result is:

cos(x)*tan(x)
cos(x)*tan(x)


Maybe there should be an option in trigsimp "not" to replace 
sin(x)/cos(x) with tan(x) and cos(x)/sin(x)
with cot(x) ?
