This was a sledge-hammer approach; it may not be the best.  The 
readtable-case is set at the beginning and is never changed, except for 
to_lisp(), where we change it back to the default readtable.  I saw that 
there's a set-readtable-for-macsyma, so maybe we can try something along 
those lines.

When I downcase the tests, maxima will pass many of the tests, but it 
fails on others too, so clearly more work needs to be done.
