Comment #58 on issue 1694 by nicolas.pourcelot: solve has many issues with fractions

"As per comment 8, checking if "0 in result" might fail. Perhaps a comment could be put there to the effect, "simplification of results might be necessary to find out if a 0 is present or not" would be good. I have a equal() function that is part of work waiting to be reviewed that would (hopefully) robustly tell if there is a 0 present or not. I might rework it to look more like your checksol, however."

I understand what you mean. However, in practice, I can't figure how solve could return an unsimplified zero as a root from a polynomial expression ; but perhaps I'm mistaken.

Aaron, thanks for the tip. I've already rewritten last changes, but it may be useful next time. By the way, Chris suggested in comment 46 to do some numerical testing, in checksol(), which may drastically improve performance in some complicated cases. I'm not sure it's consistent with symbolic calculus however ; what's your opinion on this ?
