With respect to BTW2 on Pfaffian naming:
Pfaff is a proper name; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Pfaff
What is done for Bessel functions for instance?
Cheers, Gene

Concerning the pull request here:

I think, however, we should (in the commit message, record the SVN
revision number of the open-axiom tree so that we know what patches
we already have.
Just updated the commit message to include the revision and change log entry.
This was the only serious change in OpenAxion's matcat as it seems.
Others are:
Negation operator: ^= ---> ~=
Unquote binary operators: "+" ---> +
Use one? x instead of x=1
Remove some underscores like: swapRows_! ---> swapRows!
These are just technical changes. Can and should
we port some of these too?
I added two more commits that implement 'one(m,n)'
and 'identity(n)' as tiny wrappers around some other
functions. These are pure convenience features.
For some obscure(?) reason I can not call the
identity function.
BTW: I think that it would be nice if we were
able to express A^n for symbolic n the same way
we can express x^n for "scalar" x.
What would it take to allow this?
BTW2: The 'Pfaffian' function starts with an
upper case letter. I think the convention for
functions is lower case, isn't it?
A similar issue is 'mrv_limit' which is not
camel case.
But that's offtopic now.
