I think radixes in Maxima can only go up to 36, i.e. 10 digits and 26 letters.
At any rate, it doesn't go up to 60, which means that there is no way to do
sexaguesimal arithmetic, which I would actually like to do.
What would be wrong with an arbitrary base b in which digits are numbers
are 0,1,...,b-1 written in base 10 and included in some delimiter such
as parentheses?
