I've always found this behavior a bit annoying, especially for
something like Daniel's example.

Perhaps it would make sense to have a MAXIMA-USER lisp package that
the user works in that imports or uses selected functions from the
MAXIMA lisp package.  

Then, since y0 and y1 are in the MAXIMA-USER package and y0, y1 are
part of the exposed part of the MAXIMA package, y0 and y1 would be
printed lower case.  However, "integrate" would be printed uppercase
because that is a defined and exposed symbol from the MAXIMA package.

Don't know if this would work, just some random thoughts.
