When 'linsolve_params:false', linsolve is supposed to return a list of variables which are defined in terms of other variables.

Can linsolve be fixed to not return trivial equations like 'a=a' from this list?

Either linsolve should include _all_ of the trivial equations or _none_ of the trivial equations.  Currently, I can't tell what criterion it uses.  I would speculate that trivial equations come from redundant equations, but I can't tell for sure.

Thanks.
