Thanks for the explanation.
When I use properties(..) on, say ratsimp, I get;
(%i17) properties(ratsimp);
(%o17) [transfun, transfun, transfun, transfun, transfun, evfun]
I don't see any index reference in the Maxima manual which
explains "transfun", and ? transfun or ?? transfun has nothing.
And why five mentions of this property??
