What Maxima entities would you want to result in that?

Just lower case, I think.

What do you mean?
A cell that looks like
\maximanoshow
...
\endmaximanoshow
will be evaluated in Maxima, but won't be TeXed up, if that's what you
mean.

Not yet, but one could be made.
It should probably comment out the original cell, so the input will
still be in the unprocessed document, and then insert some TeX
statements that will result in the output.  The resulting *.tex file
won't look very tidy, and changing the Maxima commands after this
command is run would be a pain, hm, and the bars would be a minor
pain, but something can be done.  Why type of cells are you interested
in having this done to, to start?
