Line labels (Re: [Maxima] solving a sytem of symbolic equations)

A user can change the input  and output labels

(C1) inchar;
(D1)                                   C
(C2) outchar;
(D2)                                   D
(C3) inchar : c_;
(D3)                                  c_
(c_3) outchar : d_;
(d_3)                                 d_
(c_4) 5!;
(d_4)                                 120
(c_5) d_4 / 5;
(d_5)                                 24
(c_6) 6 * c_4;
(d_6)                                 720
(c_7) 

I don't know about e-labels.

I agree.  This is annoying, especially since people are accustomed to
using c<n> to denote various constants.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do.  I oftentimes used D<n> to
recall an old result so I can either see it or do some more
manipulation on it.  Making that harder to do doesn't help either.
