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)".
