Subject: Extension of the integrator - special functions

I know nothing about pattern matching mechanism in the integration
code, but I wonder if an alternative to special-casing dozens of
special functions would be to convert the special functions to
hypergeometric form, (try to) integrate, (optionally) convert from
hypergeometric form to special function (Bessel, ...) form? There are
dozens of special functions--building pattern matching for all of
them seems like a great deal of (error-prone) work.
