Consider the following:
(C36) sum(x^i,i,0,inf),x:0;
(D36) 0
(C37) x^0;
(D37) 1
(C38) x^0,x:0;
0
0 has been generated
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
In fact I was already writing a bug report. I wanted to write ...should
give 1... when I realised that this is not clear at all.
(Maple considers 0^0=1 which is probably false)
However, I'd like to *be able to* tell maxima that I want the sum to
be equal to 1. How could I do that?

Oh dear, now I've found a bug after all (to be reported)
