I propose adding 9) impliment a posteval mechanism as discussed earlier
(this might fall under low level lisp stuff?) according to Barton's
ideas. This is a relatively small change in its final implimentation,
and easy to document. The most significant event is changing the
toplevel macsyma eval command from a defmacro to a defun, but in
testing this makes no difference that we have observed thus far. It
successfully handles the earlier reported behavior tellsimpafter
couldn't handle (at least readily).
If this needs to wait I certainly understand, but I think it can be
reasonably included in 5.9.2 and it would be convenient for later work.
