### 49.3 Possible improvements to contrib_ode

These routines are work in progress. I still need to:

- Extend the FACTOR method `ode1_factor` to work for multiple roots.
- Extend the FACTOR method `ode1_factor` to attempt to solve higher order factors. At present it only attemps to solve linear factors.
- Fix the LAGRANGE routine `ode1_lagrange` to prefer real roots over complex roots.
- Add additional methods for Riccati equations.
- Improve the detection of Abel equations of second kind. The exisiting pattern matching is weak.
- Work on the Lie symmetry group routine `ode1_lie`. There are quite a few problems with it: some parts are unimplemented; some test cases seem to run forever; other test cases crash; yet others return very complex "solutions". I wonder if it really ready for release yet.
- Add more test cases.
