Hello Robert,
please excuse my bad English.
All I want to say is, that I would be happy if '=' remains the operator for equations.
For teaching mathematics it is very important that Maxima's syntax is as close to
mathematical notations as possible. To express something like "x runs from a to b" or "x is
element of the interval [a;b]" one should not use an '='.
Thank you.
