>  * `truth(rel, (x,S1), (y,S2)...)` equivalent to `satisfiable(rel)` with

>  * `solve(rel)` in case of `satisfiable=Yes` returning the full solution
> set
>  * `prove(rel)` showing more or less steps of simplification (which is

New description:

 We should provide a detailed interface for symbolic relations:
  * `bool(rel)` equivalent to `(not)(LHS-RHS).is_trivial_zero()` for ==,!=
 ; and for <, >, <=, >= the result follows alpha order of lhs and rhs
  * `satisfiable(rel)` returning
 `(Yes,example)/No/Undecidable/NotImplemented`
  * `solve(rel)` in case of `satisfiable=Yes` returning the full solution
 set
  * `is(rel)` attempting simplification/proof, returning `True`/`False`,
 throwing `NotImplementedError`
  * `ex.is_zero(simplify=False)` (default) calling the fast `bool(ex==0)`
  * `ex.is_zero(simplify=True)` attempting simplification/proof
  * `prove(rel)` showing more or less steps of simplification (which is out
 of reach for the moment)

 Tickets:
  * #19040: to take satisfiability/truth functionality out of
 `ex.__nonzero__` into resp. member functions
