Cancel common coefficients in balanced expressions:

     i + #m*u + j ~~ i' + #m'*u + j'  ==  #(m-m')*u + i + j ~~ i' + j'

where ~~ is an appropriate balancing operation (e.g. =, <=, <, -).

It works by (a) massaging both sides to bring the selected term to the front:

     #m*u + (i + j) ~~ #m'*u + (i' + j') 

(b) then using bal_add1 or bal_add2 to reach

     #(m-m')*u + i + j ~~ i' + j'       (if m'<=m)

or

     i + j ~~ #(m'-m)*u + i' + j'       (otherwise)
