I am in favor of substitution in parallel for "subst".
(We could have another function for serial substitution but
that should not be the default.)

Hmm, can't we merge sublis and subst? i.e. have the effect of
subst just be the same as a similar call to sublis.
Probably I'm missing something here.
(In general I'm not in favor of functions which vary in
irregular ways. sublis has parallel substitution but it also
differs from subst in other, seemingly random, ways.)
We can modify to_poly_solve or any other functions which
expect serial substitution.
