Oh, similar to the use_grobner, option, I should be able to have an optional argument algexact = true / false that defaults to true.
The optional arguments can be in any order, so it's not a great a burden to the user.

I agree that the default algexact for to_poly_solve at least should be true. Maybe even always?
The problem with binding it within to_poly_solve is that the user can no longer control it if he wants to. There are a couple of ways of dealing with this: define to_poly_solve_algexact, or have more values for algexact (never/always) which means never rebind. Yuck.
