This is an interesting idea. What exactly do you have in mind with,
say, the signal processing toolbox?
I (used to) use Matlab a lot for signal processing, but seldom used
the toolkits. However, most of my usage was grinding out numbers
because the problems were usually not tractable. You know, things
like bit-error rate curves with all kinds of realistic models for the
radio receiver. This ends up just adding fast routines to maxima to
do the necessary number crunching.
But some parts had analytical solutions, so expressing them
symbolically probably would aid understanding.
Perhaps I should take a closer look at the signal processing
toolbox....
