    add judicious numerical testing to is_constant and equals

        The _random method was added to expr to fascilitate testing.
        That routine is described by its docstring.

        The judiciousness of the new testing comes from using evalf
        to disprove (rather than prove) something is constant or that
        two expressions are equal. e.g. to disprove that something is
        constant, one need only substitute in two different values and
        see if they are different or not. If different, the expression
        cannot be constant. If the two values are the same, *or* if
        no significance could be obtained (because, perhaps, the expression
        is zero) then no conclusion is drawn.
