 * as a functional expressions that consists of a prefix and some arguments.
 * In particular we distinguish four types of functional expressions:
 * - integral: Integral expression.
 * - bigop: A big operator expression like a sum.
 * - prefix: A well defined prefix function such as sin, cos or a limit
 *           functions like lim, max.
 * - simple: An expression consisting of letters that are potentially a function
 *           symbol. If we have an explicit function application symbol
 *           following the expression we turn into a prefix function. Otherwise
 *           we decide heuristically if we could have a function application.
