Hi,
Maxima sometimes appends some curious "tags" to the output
expressions:
e.g. rat(x/y) produces the tag /R/ which obviously means a
"canonical rational expression" (whatever that is).
taylor(sin(x),x,0,3) produces the tag /T/ which obviously means
"taylor series".
Those tags, which are assumedly not part of the expession itself,
can be removed by apply(op(..),args(...)).
Is there a general principle or a deeper mind for those tags?
What is the actual effect of them
(just appending + ... do the expression (for /T/), or even more)?
Where are those tags stored (if not as part of the expression)?
Are there more such tags than /R/ and /T/?
Thanks in advance for answers
