> Hmm. So should this even be called `canonicalize_radical` or maybe
something else that indicates it doesn't just do radicals? I wonder why
they chose that name in Maxima - maybe there is something in the algorithm
that is 'radical'? (Pun intended.)
Maybe you just have to think of the complex square root in terms of the
complex exponential and logarithm, at which point it becomes OK for
`canonicalize_radical()` to affect certain log/exp expressions?
