Hello Leo,
some days ago, I have added a short entry for the simp-flag to the
manual to be more complete:
(%i1) ? simp;
-- Option variable: simp
Default value: `true'
`simp' enables simplification. This is the standard. `simp' is also
an evflag, which is recognized by the function `ev'. See `ev'.
Your documentation is more complete. So, I can extend the existing
documentation a bit.
