Question:Dirac gamma matrices

Consider the following anticommutators:

with(Physics):
Simplify(AntiCommutator(Dgamma[1],Dgamma[1])),
Simplify(AntiCommutator(Dgamma[1],Dgamma[2]));

Being basic Clifford algebra, I wonder why Physics does not know that the second one should simplify to zero.

PS: Just to be sure, I have updated to Maple 2017.3 today.
