Hi everyone,

I was browsing through the testing structure of 'pretty printing' in SymPy, 
in particular tests file. I can see that in 
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/blob/master/sympy/printing/pretty/tests/test_pretty.py#L3917
 we 
have 'pretty' used there, now that test is opposed (different) from what 
'pretty' actually does when we simply do 'from sympy import *', I can see 
that there a few function definition for 'pretty' and 'xpretty', that makes 
it clear what they actually do. 

Now my question is: is there a good enough reason for why that redefinition 
is done?

Obviously that is done intentionally, one reason I could think of is to 
make the module be able handle more different types of printings using 
smaller function names, 'xpretty' ('from sympy.printing.pretty import 
pretty as pretty'), 'pretty' are small. Is the reason as simple as that?
