Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

This module is an extension to the Math::Symbolic module. A basic
familiarity with that module is required.
Math::Symbolic offers some builtin simplification routines. These,
however, are not capable of complex simplifications. This extension offers
facilities to override the default simplification routines through means
of subclassing this module. A subclass of this module is required to
define a simplify object method that implements a simplification of
Math::Symbolic trees.
There are two class methods to inherit: register and unregister. Calling
the register method on your subclass registers your class as providing the
simplify method that is invoked whenever simplify() is called on a
Math::Symbolic::Operator object.
Calling unregister on your subclass restores whichever simplification
routines where in place before.
