To the extent that some of these optimizations could be achieved by writing better Python code, it would nice for optimization tools to have a "suggest" mode. For example, if I code a Fourier series and duplicate the subexpression n*f*t, it would be nice for a tool to tell me that I should refactor that expression. Something like this: n*f*t should be refactored out of this expression, assuming muliplication has no desired side effects for n, f, and t. ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
