   What I meant is:   
      
   This integral can be solved if transcendental case of Risch algorithm   
   is implemented.   
      
   Otherwise, a CAS system might try to solve it using heuristic method,   
   aka integration by parts, guess, etc.  For this integral, as Timofeev said,   
   it equals to int( x/sin(x) d(1/(x*cos(x)-sin(x)))), then integration by part,   
   result is x/sin(x)/(x*cos(x)-sin(x)) + int(1/sin(x)^2,x) .
