Manoj ended up implementing a `.is_algebraic_expr()` method to accomplish
this task. It may be a good idea to replace the `is_algebraic()` method
with `.is_algebraic_expr()`, since `is_algebraic()` only has doctests and
is only used twice, one other time in sqrtdenest.py and once where it is
imported but not used in simplify.py.
