I think that there is a place for this in SymPy, though you are probably right in the sense that the majority of it would have to be separate from the true SymPy core. For example, WolphramAlpha has a feature where it shows you the steps for an integral. However, the algorithms used to integrate functions and the ones that it shows are quite different, so clearly they are separate ones.
