That's a very good proposal! And there might even be a solution for the
people fighting for case insensitivity: It is probably easy to set up an
editor (e.g. EMACS) so that all basic latin characters are treated as case
insensitive (i.e. "a" and "A" refer to the same character) and Unicode
characters (that includes uppercase characters) are displayed as Unicode
numerals. The point is that people who enable case insensitivity won't see
many unicode characters as long as they are using the built in Maxima
commands (they should be, as most of us seem to agree, all in lowercase).
If someone needs a proof of concept I'm willing to try to forge such a mode
in EMACS. I'm also pretty certain that it is possible to realize such a
mode in XMaxima and in the command line interface (which probably can't
display most unicode characters anyhow).
