Ah, I see. You want to substitute in monkey_log(whatever) for every
instance of log(whatever) in some expression.

@sympy community - Do we have any technology to traverse the AST tree
and replace nodes with transformed nodes?

SymPy has some basic pattern matching. I've never used it though.
Perhaps a combination of it and subs could help here?
