OK, I guess. After tinkering with it a little I found that
replacing (coerce ...) with (cl:coerce ...) makes those errors go away.
I guess that's a suboptimal resolution, because unqualified references
to coerce ought to resolve to cl:coerce (given the existing Maxima
package definition).

Be that as it may, I'm going to leave the coerce shadowing stuff on
the 5.16 release branch, and commit the coerce --> cl:coerce as
a temporary fix. Unless of course someone wants to talk me out of it.

All the best,
