RE: Problem with solve().
I would think that both cases should return a syntax error, since the first entry is supposed to be an equation. If a variable is entered in the first position without an equality, then it is implicitly treated as =0. So, the first case would be 1=0, which is an error, and second would be 0=0, which is trivial. For example, in CAS view if I enter solve(x=0,0} the result is {0}. If I only enter solve{x} then I first get a message "Warning, argument is not an equation, solving x=0" followed by the correct result {0}. Also, this occurs with solve(x,x). When I enter solve(0,x), the message "solving 0=0" is nonsense IMO.
