Added redefine() function to complement undefine() for various
Context() values.  For example

      Context()->operators->undefine('+');

makes '+' undefined, but

      Context()->operators->redefine('+');

will put it back.  You can specify a context from which to take the
redefinition, and a name in that context, as in

      Context()->operators->redefine('U',from=>"Interval");
      Context()->operators->redefine('u',from=>"Interval",using=>"U");
      Context()->operators->redefine('U',from=>$content);

where $content is a reference to a Context object.

The undefine() function lets you undefine several items at once, as in

      Context()->operators->undefine('+','-');

For redefine, you must put multiple names in square brackets because
of the optional parmeters:

      Context()->operators->redefine(['+','-']);

A first pass at making parser error messages localizable.  The
Context()->{error}{msg} hash can be used to specify translations of
the standard messages.  For example,

    Context()->{error}{msg}{'Division by zero'} = "Don't divide by zero, dude!";
    Context()->{error}{msg}{'Function '%s' has too many inputs'} =
        "You passed too many arguments to '%s'";

(I didn't translate into another language, here, but you could do
that, too.)

The msg hash could also be used within answer checkers to make certain
answer messages more appropriate for the given type of expected answer.

Fixed a bug with constants where the values were being cached so that
changes in the context were not being reflected in the formulas that
use them.

Make blank patterns be ^$ (which should never match) rather than empty
(which always matches).  this fixes a problem where if a context has
no functions, for example, the parser would attempt to create function
calls to a function named ''.

File length: 4142 byte(s)

Significant update to new parser.

New features include:

  Better control over format of vector output (you can now
    specify ijk-format rather than <...> format)

  "Fuzzy" reals, where the relations like == return true when the
    two values are "close enough".  (This is controlable using
    parameters similar to those used in NUM_CMP).

  The fuzzy reals are now used in vectors/points/matrices/complexes/intervals
    and so on so that their relations will also be fuzzy.  E.g.,
    (1E-13,2) == (0,3) will be true, and norm(Vector(0,1E-13)) will
    equal 0.

  The two main portions of the parser (the Parser and Value packages)
    now share a common context object for configuration purposes.
