16 ;;; which perform operations on Macsyma functions or data, but which are
17 ;;; too general for placement in a particular file.
18 ;;;
19 ;;; Every function in this file is known about externally.
21 ;;; This function searches for the key in the left hand side of the input list
22 ;;; of the form [x,y,z...] where each of the list elements is a expression of
23 ;;; a binary operand and 2 elements. For example x=1, 2^3, [a,b] etc.
24 ;;; The key checked against the first operand and and returns the second
25 ;;; operand if the key is found.
26 ;;; If the key is not found it either returns the default value if supplied or
27 ;;; false.
