that is the problem: you use symbols with names "0" and "1" !

I don't know what you mean, but the "0","1",etc. are just names for the 
output and are _completely_ irrelevant for any algebraic operation.
If you want to match patterns then you have to use the C++ variable name 
of the symbols you give to r_sum.
