SirlinSimplify

SirlinSimplify[exp] simplifies spinor chains that contain Dirac matrices using relations derived by A. Sirlin in Nuclear Physics B192 (1981) 93-99. Contrary to the original paper, the sign of the Levi-Civita tensor is chosen as \varepsilon^{0123}=1 which is the standard choice in FeynCalc.
