There is no question in my mind that operators should be just as
case-sensitive as everything else in maxima. Please do file a bug report
and mark it as "fix for 5.9.2."
Ray pointed out that the bug also affects $prefix, $infix, $nary,
$matchfix, and $nofix. What we really need is at least one test case for
each.
