A bit of reflexion leads me to propose a "brute force" answer to a question wher the answer could be divined with a bit of "intuition".
The original question was :
I am trying to simplify the following expression in sage:
(sqrt(3)/3cos(x)+1/3sin(x))
the resulting expression should be:
2/3*cos(pi/6-x) .simplify_full(), trig_reduce(), or simplify_trig() cannot produce this simplification.
Is sage currently capable of doing this?

See below for the steps of the solution. Comments, criticisms and even lazzi welcome...
