 kind of problems as before.

 Does it really!?  Thinking more about this last night, I started to wonder
 if this is really a bug with comparison of symbolic expressions, not with
 differential forms.  Before we move on with this, would you mind doing a
 little checking to see if converting to strings really is the best way to
 compare symbolic expressions? (If it is, then I would say '`==`' is broken
 for symbolic expressions.)
