It doesn't actually work:
-> )display prop 5
Properties of 5 :
   none
-> )display prop integrate
Properties of integrate :
   none

It helps a lot while learning --- the first thing one would like to
know about certain operation is what kind of arguments it accepts (if
any) and what kind of output one should expect.

For example, the fact that determinant is defined on square matrices
and maps to the field the matrix is defined on in some sense is more
basic than the properties of the determinant.

I get used to this approach (always to bear in mind the types of
objects you are working with) in Haskell, maybe it's not very
applicable to FriCAS since the last deals heavily with symbolic
computations. And I haven't studied yet what that mysterious thing
"Expression" is, was going to move on it after the chapter about types.
