maybe you should consider as appropriate, the result of the same expression as the input. e.g. max(sin(x),cos(x)).
It has the advantages of (1) being rather fast if you do nothing much other than note that with symbolic inputs, max cannot be computed without, oh, replacing max with symbolic_max over some domain (2) being not obviouslly bogus. The corresponding question for sum is tricky. Do you want to do sum as an iteration? Always? Consider sum of i =1 to 1000000000000 which is either trivial and time consuming or symbolic-trivial and fast.
