Further Examples
Logs of products are not automatically broken up into a sum of logs.
In[1]:= 
Out[1]= 
After unprotecting Log we can define a new transformation rule.
In[2]:= 
Out[2]= 
We apply the rule and then get rid of it, reprotect the Log function.
In[3]:= 
Out[3]= 
In[4]:= 
In[5]:= 
Out[5]= 
The Clear did not get rid of system definitions.
In[6]:= 
Out[6]=
