yes, that's what meant to say, the current definition just via flatten and
then "delegating" directly to op:numeric-add doesn't cover that aspect yet.
what you write here should work, but it is an extension of the current
Definition of Sum
Anyways, don't we need to extend Definition of Sum also to cover errors,
or do you intend this covered by "if S0 is not a number" ?
