(a) At a minimum, I'll add a note to the nset documentation that shows how
to use matchfix to allow sets
be entered using braces. This code could be placed in the maxima-init.mac
file.
(b) Yes, it is stupid to have multiple versions of powerset; nset.lisp
does define a function xpowerset that may duplicate
the powerset function defined in ratout.lisp (I think). I'll see if nset
could use powerset instead and if so, expunge
it. Finally, I'll learn about lisp packages and see if it's possible to
keep non-user functions from being exported
from nset.
Thanks for your interest in nset; Stavros deserves the credit for most of
what is good about nset.
