Comment #1 on issue 3998 by [email protected]: summation(x**n/n, (n, 1, 400)) hangs

I bisected this all the way back to

    [concrete/summations] Implement some binomial sums.

    Specifically, in the evaluation method using hypergeometric functions,
when encountering a finite sum from a to b, try to evaluate it by summing
    from a to infinity and subtracting the sum from b+1 to infinity.

    Fix a problem where _eval_sum_hyper substitutes zero in the expression
    and, if it gets zero, adds one and starts over. This yields to an
    inifinite loop if the expression is identically zero under the correct
    assumptions.

    Extend binomial.eval() to recognise that binomial(n, k) is always zero
    if k is bigger than n.

    Add tests.
