Question: Why is Pi added to solution of cot(y)=-A ?

eq:=cot(y)=-A;
solve(eq,y)

eq:=cot(y)=A;
solve(eq,y)

I would expect solution to first to be arccot(-A) and for second to be arccot(A) but Maple likes to write the solution for the first one as Pi-arccot(A).

Of course Maple solution is correct. But why make it so complicated? Why not just give arccot(-A) as solution?  A is just a symbol.

I tried 4 different cas systems and they all give arccot(-A) for first one, except Maple gives Pi-arccot(A)

Is there some subtle reason why Maple gives solution like this instead of the simpler one? 

And is there a way to tell Maple not to do this? This seems to be something hardcoded internally in its automatic trig simplifications? I just do not see the point of writing it this way. May be someone knows why.
