Use codegolf techniques but do not limit the length of the code. Write
a very simple symbolic solver. Autogenerate operator metadata via
trial.

Building a simple symbolic solver with autogenerated operator metadata
using a trial approach in Python can involve creating a system that
tests operations and builds knowledge about them dynamically.

Here is a simplified example. This symbolic solver can handle basic
arithmetic operations and is written without strict code length
constraints, while keeping the code relatively short and readable. The
autogenerate operator metadata through trial involves using actual
operations on sample data and storing their properties (e.g.,
commutative property).

```python
import operator

# Sample data for trial
trial_data = [2, 3]

# Operators to be tested and analyzed
ops = {
    '+': operator.add,
    '-': operator.sub,
    '*': operator.mul,
    '/': operator.truediv,
}

# Autogenerate metadata
meta_ops = {}
for sym, op in ops.items():
    # Trial operation
    a, b = trial_data
    try:
        r1, r2 = op(a, b), op(b, a)
    except ZeroDivisionError:
        continue  # Skip division by zero

    # Check properties like commutativity
    is_commutative = r1 == r2

    # Store metadata
    meta_ops[sym] = {
        'func': op,
        'commutative': is_commutative,
    }

# Symbolic solver
def simple_solve(expr, var, val):
    """
    Solves an expression `expr` symbolically for a variable `var`
given a value `val`.

    Example: simple_solve("x + 2", "x", 3) should return 5.
    """
    try:
        # Replace variable with value and evaluate
        expr = expr.replace(var, str(val))
        return eval(expr, {"__builtins__": None}, {})
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {str(e)}")
        return None

# Example usage
expr = "x + y * z"
var_values = {"x": 2, "y": 3, "z": 4}

# Substituting variable values and solving
for var, val in var_values.items():
    expr = expr.replace(var, str(val))

result = simple_solve(expr, "", 0)
print(f"Result: {result}")

# Operator metadata
for sym, meta in meta_ops.items():
    print(f"Operator: {sym}, Commutative: {meta['commutative']}")
```

This code demonstrates a method of building a symbolic solver with
autogenerated metadata for operators based on trial operations. The
`simple_solve` function serves as a very basic symbolic solver that
replaces variables with their corresponding values and evaluates the
resulting expression. Note that using `eval` is generally not
recommended for parsing expressions in a production environment due to
security risks, and an expression parsing library or a safer
evaluation method would be preferable in a more sophisticated
implementation.

The metadata for operations is dynamically generated by testing them
on sample data (`trial_data`). It checks for properties such as
commutativity (a+b == b+a) and could be expanded to check for other
properties as needed.

Keep in mind that this example is simplistic and a full-featured
symbolic solver (like Sympy in Python) would require much more robust
parsing, validation, and evaluation capabilities to handle a wide
range of mathematical expressions and use-cases.
