Symbolic endpoints are probably a bad idea.  The complexity of the 
endpoint expressions grows very fast.

Building a CAS from scratch on top of some generic-arithmetic 
object-oriented  math-hierarchy framework
is a perennial project that works up to a point and then tends to fall 
apart for a variety of reasons.

Finding a single organizing principle is not so hard.  Finding one that 
works is harder..
