Fix bug in like terms collection in expression simplification Like term collection would lose the actual "variable" part of the term if the second term collected happened to have no coefficient. This would cause the expression to take the value of the calculated coefficient which is obviously wrong. Thanks to hider <stego@satx.rr.com> for reporting the bug and providing a proper test case. Observation: this bug has been present since the first pre-release of lwtools 3.0 when the algebraic expression system was introduced. Apparently people tend not to create expressions that trigger the like terms handler. The specific conditions require the symbol to be undefined and the second operand to the addition has to have no coefficient so it's likely a fairly rare scenario. Still, it is somewhat surprising that nobody tripped on it before now.

# This script is a frontend to the lwar library manager, to make it
# look more like GNU ar.  Not all ar features are supported here.
# It basically translates ar style options into lwar format.

# Parse and translate command-line options

# ar options cheatsheet:
# r: insert (with replace)
# c: create archive
# u: only replace newer files
# v: verbose mode
# x: extract files from archive
