Comment (by kcrisman):

 > I left it kind of simple because I've seen expression equality fail on
 some "easy" cases. A result of `bool(f == g) == False` just means "I
 couldn't prove that `f == g`".

 ???  I'd like to see this.  I think that the kind of examples that the
 code I posted would generate shouldn't have that happen - we're not
 talking complicated polynomials here.

 > In that regard the test is only correct if it's going to generate very
 simple (i.e. comparable) expressions. We could go higher than the default
 of degree 2 probably, but I didn't feel like spending too much time
 thinking about it, either.

 Well, considering that the current tests don't actually generate
 expressions that have anything to collect, I'd prefer at least something
 with two variables.
