I'd like to see this too, but there is a lot of background
work to be done in order to enable it. Oh, and we should
fix some more bugs too.

I'm glad that people are working on user interfaces,
but to be honest, for the Maxima project proper, I think
we should concentrate on the stuff under the hood
for another couple of years.
