Steven,
The error is actually an issue with LightTable's Juno plugin and actually
has nothing to do with Julia.
I think what happened is in reporting the errors the plugin makes some
mistake and ended up reporting another error(or itself had some misuse of
strings) instead.
The actual error was discovered while running it from the command shell is
in fact:
ERROR: assertion failed
in ∫ at SimplePoly.jl:286
in ∫ at SimplePoly.jl:518
in ∫ at SimplePoly.jl:786
in ∫ at Factor.jl:153
which seems more reasonable, as the assertion is the one I wrote.
sorry for the troubles!
