Today I was playing around with the concept of absolute integrability:
integrate(sin(x)/x,x,0,inf) gives %pi/2
integrate(abs(sin(x)/x),x,0,inf) asks the seemingly stupid question:
Is ind positive, negative, or zero?
the user has absolutely no idea what maxima is asking... I'm going to
assume that it has something to do with a change of variable deep
within the integrator... but it's completely opaque to me.
Any suggestions? I can file a bug if necessary but I'd like to flesh
out what the bug should say :-)
