Comment:

 `RR(SR(foo))` is used because strings like `"pi"` or `"-3/2"` are not
 accepted by the element constructor of real fields. They are accepted by
 the element constructor of SR though. So it was the best way i could find
 to create a RealField element from these strings.

 The real value of log(10)/log(2) is between 3.3219 and 3.322, so i
 prefeared to be conservative in this aspect.

 This commit addresses mostly all your comments, but i think that the code
 could be greatly improved if we pass the domain to fast_callable, which
 would directly convert all constants, avoiding us the work of converting
 the exact expressions to the strings that represent them in floating
 point.

 Besides, there is also some room for improvement in the performance of
 `remove_repeated` .

 I will work on that, but i am not sure if it should be done in this ticket
 (maybe we should change the title?)
