Another limit fact:
(%i33) timer(constantp)$
CONSTANTP is already traced.
(%i34) limit(minf+inf);
(%o34) UND <--- 109 calls to 'constantp'
(%i36) timer(constantp)$
CONSTANTP is already traced.
(%i37) limit(infinity+inf);
(%o37) INFINITY <--- 85 calls to 'constantp'
(%i39) timer(constantp)$
CONSTANTP is already traced.
(%i40) limit(true);
(%o40) true <--- 83 calls 'contantp'
Yikes -- the number of calls to 'constantp' seems excessive.
