[Maxima-bugs] [maxima:bugs] #4644 bfloat((x+1)/x includes unnecessary 1.0b0 factor

[David S. <tom...@us...>]

Actually, it's any product. `bfloat(x*y)` also introduces the `1.0b0` factor. It's caused by `timesbigfloat`.

~~~
bfloat((x+2)/x) => (1.0b0*(x+2.0b0))/x
~~~
What is the ``1.0b0`` factor doing there?

Set as priority 1 (which I hope means lowest, not highest) because this probably isn't doing any harm.
