Right. I know that there wasn't any objections to the above, but I was thinking a bit about it anyway, whether or not such a thing belongs into sympy, and my argument is the following: we already provide Mathematica (and other programs) conversions, and Wolfram Alpha is just another program (web app), and in fact, it is way more common than Mathematica (I think way more people use Wolfram Alpha than Mathematica -- I don't have any data to back this up though). So this belongs to the category of "interoperability with other CAS applications or services". And this does belong to SymPy.
