issymbollike() has been extracted into SymbolicsBase package (Fixes #264)
#265
Conversation
I'd like to see `Symbolics.jl` supported in [`Measurements.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl), but for reasons, the `Num` type would need to be explicitly allowed on the `Measurements.jl` side, which will require depending on whatever package providing it. I've since found the `SciMLBase.issymbollike()` function, which should answer the question i'm looking for, but unfortunately, if i add `SciMLBase` as a dependency of `Measurements`, to my surprise, we get a cyclic dependency, because `SciMLBase` exports `issymbollike` from `RecursiveArrayTools`, which itself depends on `Measurements`... By extracting `issymbollike()` into a new package, on which `Measurements.jl` could depend, we avoid dependency cycle. Refs. JuliaPhysics/Measurements.jl#142 (comment) Refs. JuliaSymbolics/Symbolics.jl#898 Thanks!

Why would this be needed when there's https://github.com/SciML/SymbolicIndexingInterface.jl ? And BasicSymbolic as Unityper? |

Thank you for taking a look!
Effectively, i'm not saying that it is needed, but only that it appears to provide the answer i'm looking for. The core problem i need to solve is: given It looked like |

Ok, this is indeed not strictly needed, same effect can be mimicked via a |

This, obviously, requires said
SymbolicsBase.jlto be made avaliable.I've put a repo at https://github.com/LebedevRI/SymbolicsBase.jl,
but it needs to be in this org if this is to proceed.
