Thanks for the suggestion -- I have committed this as 01cb5a0d (with
NIL as the default value instead of T).
About maxima_detect, it can only handle version numbers like xx.yy.zz,
so it can't handle versions built from Git which have messy versions
like branch_5_31_base_28_g807d478_dirty. The version number isn't
really that crucial -- if TeXmacs doesn't recognize it, it just launches
Maxima with the most recent interface code (which is pretty old anyway).
I guess one could submit a patch to the TeXmacs project ....
