I don't mean to be flippant, but: the number of potential users
of Maxima who don't care about compatibility with commercial
Macsyma must outnumber the ones who do by several orders of
magnitude. To please the former group, making Maxima less
bizarre is a goal of much higher priority. FWIW.
Be that as it may, compatibility with commercial Macsyma is
already a lost cause, right? With every minor enhancement and
bug fix, Maxima is drifting farther away. There is good reason
to speed up the process.
