+  "Parser of infix expressions with integer/rational coefficients
+The parser will recognize two kinds of polynomial expressions:
+
+- polynomials in fully expanded forms with coefficients
+  written in front of symbolic expressions; constants can be optionally
+  enclosed in (); for example, the infix form
+        X^2-Y^2+(-4/3)*U^2*W^3-5
+  parses to
+        (+ (- (EXPT X 2) (EXPT Y 2)) (* (- (/ 4 3)) (EXPT U 2) (EXPT W 3)) (- 5))
+
+- lists of polynomials; for example
+        [X-Y, X^2+3*Z]          
+  parses to
+          (:[ (- X Y) (+ (EXPT X 2) (* 3 Z)))
+  where the first symbol [ marks a list of polynomials.
+
+-other infix expressions, for example
+        [(X-Y)*(X+Y)/Z,(X+1)^2]
+parses to:
+        (:[ (/ (* (- X Y) (+ X Y)) Z) (EXPT (+ X 1) 2))
+Currently this function is implemented using M. Kantrowitz's INFIX package."
