Thanks for the feedback. I guess writing the code is an exercise for me.

Subject: Re: [Maxima] pw.mac problem
An operator algebra package would be a useful addition to Maxima; support for the Dirac delta is much less interesting to me. Some
of the appeal of the Dirac delta stems from a "Math? I don't need no stinkin' math" attitude. A bogus proof of the Fourier inversion theorem
(the hat check theorem) amounts to little more than neglecting the conditions on the Fubini Tonelli theorem. Additional appeal of the Dirac
delta comes from construction of solvable QM problems for qualifying exams (end polemics).
A web search on "macsyma opalg" finds some documents that describe the functionality of Macsyma's operator algebra package.
