Better proposition tester than "is"?



The problem with such a request is that the questions quickly become
undecidable or exceedingly expensive [O(2^2^n) or worse] to compute.

Even something as simple as the theory of linear order can be doubly
exponential in complexity.

I believe that there is now serious money in awards for someone who
comes up with good solutions to problems like these.
