 If I understand the context, then Chris likely wants to allow different
 simplifications which depend on the question asked (is that right, Chris?).
 Granting that,
 I think the question is, how can the user control the simplifier so
 that only certain subsets of simplifications are carried out. The
 clean way to do this is through a policy mechanism, as I have suggested
 before.
