limnoria's whole code (including this plugin) is completely covered by a
comprehensive test suite.  And even if there was a regression it would
be limited to this single plugin, not affecting the regular operation of
the rest of the program.  For this plugin, the tests check all the
operations: https://sources.debian.org/src/limnoria/2019.11.09-2/plugins/Math/test.py/
As a test for this particular bug, since this was a bad eval(), now that
there is no eval() anymore that sufficies as a test.
