[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #55968 (project octave):

                 Summary: Incorrect simplify to sinc function => [octave
forge] (symbolic) Incorrect simplify to sinc function

Follow-up Comment #2:

Here's an idea of what we could do. In Matlab, they are a little more
restrictive over what can be passed in the second argument to rewrite. If I
pass an expression to rewrite with the target 'sinc', it's actually
interpreted by Matlab as a synonym for 'sincos'. So is the option 'sinco'.

SymPy seems to handle 'sinco' as an alias for 'sincos' already. We could
simply intercept and if the argument is exactly 'sinc', translate it into
'sincos' before handing it off to SymPy. What do you think?
