For fun, I'll think a little about that for a second, since it will
be good for Bobby to put how this would work in the SEP.
For example, we want to transform
f(x,y) = sin(x)*cos(x+y+3)
into
f = (sin(x)*cos(x+y+3)).function(x,y)
Possible logic to do this. If a statement (i.e., between ;'s
or newlines) contains an equal sign and there is an open
parenthesis to the left of the equals since, do this
transformation:
X(y) = z
gets replaced by
X = z.function(y)
where here X, y, and z are (nearly) arbitrary strings.
I think this is reasonable since in Python "if a statement (i.e.,
between ;'s or newlines) contains an equal sign and there is an open
parenthesis to the left of the equals sign", then is a *syntax error*.
We could possible also do
var(y); X=z.function(y)
where var(y) would define all formal indeterminates defined by the
string y and inject them into the interpreter's scope.
