Summary: take macro

Initial Comment:
For some operators (for example, %sin), 'take' directly calls the simplifying function (it doesn't go through
simplfiya). This causes trouble:

 (%i1) tellsimpafter(sin(x),42);
 (%o1) [sinrule1,simp-%sin]

OK:

 (%i2) sin(x);
 (%o2) 42

Look what happens when we use 'take': 

 MAXIMA> (take '(%sin) '$x)
( (%SIN SIMP) $X)

To get the simplified result, we need to expand:

 MAXIMA> ($expand (take '(%sin) '$x) 0 0)
 42
