 The expression
 {{{
 h(6)=8
 }}}
 currently defines a symbolic function ``h`` with constant value 8. This
 makes no sense, but begginers make this mistake, for example if h is an
 array and they use () instead of []. It doesn't hurt to throw an error at
 all expressions
 {{{
 h(something) = ...
 }}}
 whenever something is not a symbolic variable.
