Description 

sage: var('x')
x
sage: x.conjugate()
x

Under the assumption that x might be complex, this should really return conjugate(x).

This could be handled using Maxima's declare facility: 

sage: sage.calculus.calculus.maxima.eval('declare(x, complex)')
'done'
sage: x.conjugate()
conjugate(x)

This also fixed by Pynac: 

sage: x = var('x', ns=1)
sage: x
x
sage: x.conjugate()
conjugate(x)
