I suspect, though, that if we fix this, your idea about inverting the
case of the string will probably work. The hard part will be deciding
when to invert the case. We'll have to parse the string for things
like ~M and ignore those.
The better solution, of course, is to teach maxima about strings so we
don't have to do this silly intern/explode stuff. But that's a huge
task.
