 Smart solution. There is an `eval_limit` with the right interface already
 available, though:
 {{{
 limop = limit( SR('f(x)'), x=0 ).operator()
 def simplify_limits( expr ):
     return expr.substitute_function( limop, maxima_calculus.sr_limit )
 }}}
 should do the trick. The fact that
 {{{
 sage: limsym=sage.symbolic.function_factory.function('limit')
 sage: limsym == limop
 False
 }}}
 indicates that we really should be making a symbol for "limit" beforehand
 (and equip it with the right translations)
