No, Maxima doesn't have this feature. I doubt that there is an easy
way to add this feature to Maxima.
The long time (or possible infinite loop) might be due to a bug; if
you could post an example to this list, maybe we all could try to
decide if the problem is a bug. If it's not a bug, there might be a
workaround for the specific equation.
