% \subsection{Building blocks for expressions}
%
% Every symbolic expression has the form \cs{s_@@_symbolic}
% \cs{@@_symbolic_chk:w} \meta{operation} |,| \Arg{operands} \meta{junk}
% \cs{@@_sep:} where the \meta{operation} is a list of \texttt{N}-type tokens,
% the \meta{operands} is an array of floating point objects, and the
% \meta{junk} (typically empty) is to be discarded.  If the outermost operator
% (last to be evaluated) is unary, the expression has the form
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@_symbolic} \cs{@@_symbolic_chk:w} \\
%   \cs{@@_types_unary:NNw} |\__fp_|\meta{op}|_o:w| \meta{token} |,| \\
%   |{| \meta{operand} |}| \meta{junk} \cs{@@_sep:}
% \end{quote}
% where the \meta{op} is a unary operation (|set_sign|, |cos|,
% \ldots{}), and the \meta{token} and \meta{operand} are used as
% arguments for \cs{@@_\meta{op}_o:w} (or the type-specific analog of
% this function).  If the outermost operator is binary, the expression
% has the form
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@_symbolic} \cs{@@_symbolic_chk:w} \\
%   \cs{@@_types_binary:Nww} |\__fp_|\meta{op}|_o:ww| |,| \\
%   |{| \meta{operand_1} \meta{operand_2} |}| \meta{junk} \cs{@@_sep:}
% \end{quote}
% where the \meta{op} is an operation (|+|, |&|, \ldots{}), and
% |\__fp_|\meta{op}|_o:ww| receives the \meta{operands} as arguments.
% If the expression is a user-defined function applied to some arguments
% it is stored as
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@_symbolic} \cs{@@_symbolic_chk:w} \\
%   \cs{@@_function_o:w} \cs[no-index]{@@_\meta{identifier}_o:w} |,| \\
%   |{| \meta{operands} |}| \meta{junk} \cs{@@_sep:}
% \end{quote}
% If the expression consists of a single variable, it is stored as
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{s_@@_symbolic} \cs{@@_symbolic_chk:w} \\
%   \cs{@@_variable_o:w} \meta{identifier} |,| \\
%   |{| |}| \meta{junk} \cs{@@_sep:}
% \end{quote}
%
% Symbolic expressions are stored in a prefix form.  When encountering a
% symbolic expression in a floating point computation, we attempt to
% evaluate the operands as much as possible, and if that yields floating
% point numbers rather than expressions, we apply the operator which
% follows (if the function is known).
%
% For instance, the expression |a + b * sin(c)| is stored as
% \begin{verbatim}
% \s__fp_symbolic \__fp_symbolic_chk:w
%   \__fp_types_binary:Nww \__fp_+_o:ww ,
%   {
%     \s__fp_symbolic \__fp_symbolic_chk:w
%       \__fp_variable_o:w a , { } \__fp_sep:
%     \s__fp_symbolic \__fp_symbolic_chk:w
%       \__fp_types_binary:Nww \__fp_*_o:ww ,
%       {
%         \s__fp_symbolic \__fp_symbolic_chk:w
%           \__fp_variable_o:w b , { } \__fp_sep:
%         \s__fp_symbolic \__fp_symbolic_chk:w
%           \__fp_types_unary:NNw \__fp_sin_o:w \use_i:nn ,
%           {
%             \s__fp_symbolic \__fp_symbolic_chk:w
%               \__fp_variable_o:w c , { } \__fp_sep:

%   (but without unnecessary checks).
%   Then evaluate~|#2|.  If the result contains the

%   internal flag and evaluate to \texttt{nan}.  Then re-evaluate
%   \cs{l_@@_symbolic_fp}, and store the result in~|#1|.  If the flag is
