Question: how to get maple to automatically simplify

does anyone khow to force maple to automatically simplify expressions that look like this:

restart:

cc:=arctan(sin(phi)/cos(phi))-arccos(cos(phi))      
simplify(cc) assuming phi::real; #should be zero

i've played with convert/expand/simplify and in certain cases of course i can force maple to do this... (kind of manually).. but was hoping this could be more automatic.

thanks!
