A while back, I posted an article that included ALG\-> and \->ALG.  I
found out last night that if you try top create a symbolic (aka
algebraic) with no elements, you get a mem lost.  We know of course
that this does not happen with lists and programs.  I did not expect
it with symbolics, hence the routine I posted does not check to make
sure that the argument count is in fact greater than 0, just that
DEPTH OVER 1 + < is false.  Please keep this in mind if you use it.
