Taylor_logexpand

-- Option variable: taylor_logexpand Default value: true

taylor_logexpand controls expansions of logarithms in taylor series.

When taylor_logexpand is true, all logarithms are expanded fully so that zero-recognition problems involving logarithmic identities do not disturb the expansion process. However, this scheme is not always mathematically correct since it ignores branch information.

When taylor_logexpand is set to false, then the only expansion of logarithms that occur is that necessary to obtain a formal power series.
