It is a good point, in fact, that's why I originally did it that way.
However, there might be another way. What about, when we interface
LaTeX with maxima, we include a global setting, which can be overridden
locally, about whether or not maxima should return TeX formatting or
regular? I don't know enough about LaTeX to know if this can be done,
but presumably when the preprocessor calls maxima, it will be telling
maxima to give it TeX back. Maybe we could include an option to the
maxima environment, say
\usepackage{maxima}[notex]
which would have the preprocessor not ask for tex and instead format
the returned output the way it is currently done. That way, those who
use the command line interface could add the [notex] toggle once, run
latex/pdflatex and get what they want. Would that work?
