Agreed, let's separate the whitespace stuff from other changes.

I'm not opposed to replacing MEMQ (along with several other CL
implementations of what appear to be Maclispisms) with the CL
equivalent. It is better to have the code be comprehensible to an
ordinary CL programmer (ignoring the question of general
incomprehensibility). There are many obstacles to understanding
the Maxima code; arbitrarily replacing CL functions need not be
one of them.
