I think the noun / verb thing is only a headache--I don't think
it ever really *does* anything. The abs function has a long-standing
noun / verb confusion.
If you write new Maxima code, I would suggest that you at try to
make the noun and verb names the same. Isn't that the way sets work?
(%i12) ?print('(set(u,n,k)));
(($SET SIMP) $K $N $U)
(%o12) {k,n,u}
(%i13) ?print((set(u,n,k)));
(($SET SIMP) $K $N $U)
