Please compare:

$ Downloads/sage-4.5.3.rc0/sage -c 'print is_prime(991)'
True
Should sage -c
also print to the standard output the result of the
command? That would seem a lot more useful. Right now Sage has to
get all fired up just to act as a once-off calculator. But maybe this
is actually a feature, consistent with other programs that one can
call in once-off fashion?
