I thought about that for quite a while. :preserve-case + :invert-case is
precisely what I have in mind for the symbols in Maxima itself. The
problem is the user who wants to manipulate her/his equation describing
masses "m" and "M". I don't see any way to distinguish between the user
space and the system space -- at least, not beyond what I proposed
already.
