Reinforcing Andre's observation, I have used this function for years in
Maxima. Checking back, I found a .mac file dated 3/27/2007 in which the
function worked. It's extremely useful and deserves to continue to exist in
Maxima.

I can clearly see this function at the beginning of the file
/opt/maxima/share/maxima/5.15.0/src/result.lisp
simply use grep ;-)
