$asksign might need its own context

I guess that makes some sense.  It's easily explained and is probably
what people want.

But I think I agree with Robert.  After evaluating those integrals, I'm
not sure I would want maxima to think that a = -1 for ever after.  On a
second reading of Dieter's message, I'm not sure that's what he's
saying.  Perhaps he meant for maxima to remember just for that one
expression; it's not clear to me because I don't understand these
context things.

But having maxima ask just one question for the expression is pretty good.
