It may be usefull to keep backward compatibility at least. I'm not sure
though. Actually, I caught it on a pure occasion. First I observed the
strange behaviour of contra/covariant indices. Then I decided to try
"bothcases:false"

Is'nt it a problem that after sequence "(bothcases:false,bothcases:true)"
maxima did not return to initial state? Unfortunately I did not check whether
maxima will recover the brains if I do "kill(bothcases)".
