A stupid Maxima trick is to use reset to determine which user options have
non-default values. When debugging deep inside a Maxima
function, calling reset will print the non-default values of the option
variables. It also resets them---that can cause problems as the
calculation continues. Possibly the reset code could be modified to
display non-default values but not reset them.
The other day I couldn't figure out why s exp(log(x)) didn't simplify to x
inside the function inte. A call to reset showed that logsimp
(forgot about that) was false.
