Can it be classified as a bug when it's there for all to see in the documentation?

Clear: Rigorous mode on: |X| is not simplified to X
Set: Rigorous mode off: |X| is simplified to X

Page C-8 of the AUR.

Why one would want to simplify \(abs(x)\) to \(x\) in the first place is another matter. It does simplify things if you know that \(x\) is always going to have the same sign in the domain you're looking at, but if that is the case then why consider \(abs(x)\) in the first place...
