* As a consequence of the bug described above pattern matching can wrongly
* fail. In particular, x^5*y^(-1) fails to match ($0)^(-1)*x^($2).
*
* The first thing that is attempted to match is x^5 with $0^(-1). This match
* will fail. However repl_lst will contain $0 == x as a side effect. This
* repl_lst will prevent the match of y^(-1) to ($0)^(-1) to succeed.
*
* This issue was worked around by 73f0ce4cf8d91f073f35a45443f5fbe886921c5c.
* Now we have a real fix (192ed7390b7b2b705ad100e3db0a92eedd2b20ad), but
* let's add a check.
