Forcing no rewrite when creating expression

[Bracket Master]

Hello all,

Say I have the following:

```python

>>> sin(x)*cos(x)*cos(x)
sin(x)*cos(x)**2

```

How can I have sympy not rewrite/simplify when creating and expression.

That is, I want this:

```python

>>> sin(x)*cos(x)*cos(x)
sin(x)*cos(x)*cos(x)

```

I see something [here](https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/rewriting.html)

about term rewriting, but I would like to turn it off.

Basically, my use case is, I'm working with phasors, and I don't want

sympy distributing the magnitude into the expression.

You want evaluate=False, like Mul(sin(x), cos(x), cos(x), evaluate=False), or

with evaluate(False):
sin(x)*cos(x)*cos(x)

Yes, but my feeling is that he still wants SymPy to do something for him - not just return what he types in, so

he needs to supply a more realistic example of what he is trying to do.
