New description:

 A fast way to check if an expression is zero is important in many places,
 see for example comment:15:ticket:11143. We should put the numerical check
 mentioned there in a method (`_is_numerically_zero()`) of symbolic
 expressions (`sage.symbolic.expression.Expression`).

 Apply [attachment:trac_11513-is_trivally_zero.patch].

Comment(by kcrisman):

 Should this be an underscore method like the previous one?
