+# Here I used the convention of calling eval_* to functions that can produce a new expression, or None
+# if the result can not be evaluated, or is trivial. For example, if we call eval_Power_number(Integer2, RationalOneHalf)
+# it returns ``None`` instead of ``Expression(SymbolPower, Integer2, RationalOneHalf)``.
+# The reason is that these functions are written to be part of replacement rules, to be applied during the evaluation process.
+# In that process, a rule is considered applied if produces an expression that is different from the original one, or
+# if the replacement function returns (Python's) ``None``.
+#
+# For example, when the expression ``Power[4, 1/2]`` is evaluated, a (Builtin) rule  ``Power[base_, exp_]->eval_repl_rule(base, expr)``
+# is applied. If the rule matches, `repl_rule` is called with arguments ``(4, 1/2)`` and produces `2`. As `Integer2.sameQ(Power[4, 1/2])`
+# is False, then no new rules for `Power` are checked, and a new round of evaluation is atempted.
+#
+# On the other hand, if ``Power[3, 1/2]``, ``repl_rule`` can do two possible things: one is return ``Power[3, 1/2]``. If it does,
+# the rule is considered applied. Then, the evaluation method checks if `Power[3, 1/2].sameQ(Power[3, 1/2])`. In this case it is true,
+# and then the expression is kept as it is.
+# The other possibility is to return  (Python's) `None`. In that case, the evaluator considers that the rule failed to be applied,
+# and look for another rule associated to ``Power``. To return ``None`` produces then a faster evaluation, since no ``sameQ`` call is needed,
+# and do not prevent that other rules are attempted.
+#
+# The bad part of using ``None`` as a return is that I would expect that ``eval`` produces always a valid Expression, so if at some point of
+# the code I call ``eval_Power_number(Integer3, RationalOneHalf)`` I get ``Expression(SymbolPower, Integer3, RationalOneHalf)``.
+#
+# From my point of view, it would make more sense to use the following convention:
+#  * if the method has signature ``eval_method(...)->BaseElement:`` then use the prefix ``eval_``
+#  * if the method has the siguature ``apply_method(...)->Optional[BaseElement]`` use the prefix ``apply_`` or maybe ``repl_``.
