I don't think any simple solution will work in 100% of cases.
At any rate (for Emacs at least), since the difference between what is
sent to Maxima and what Maxima returns is easily discernable, and an
actual prompt has to appear at the beginning of a line, I would think
the present solution works in 99.99...% percent of cases.
A redefinable prompt, though, sounds like a good idea.
