What's the status of this issue? I agree with twk, that this is a little gnarly to type. Without this nicely implemented, it's almost impossible to know if the simplification makes sense, or even what your input was interpreted as. It's certainly barrier to new students, and even more experienced folks.

I do like the way WolframAlpha handles this. In this example, it checks to see if this expression is true (unsimplified on one side, simplified on the other):

 x*x*x == x**3
