Well I definitely am interested. I've already started thinking about
writing an interface. Here are some quick questions to get things started:
-- Is there a way to get a list of all the types that are defined
in a given Axiom session?
-- Is there a way to change the prompts, i.e., to be much more
difficult to confuse with valid output?
-- If X is an Axiom variable, is there a way to ask the Axiom command
line for a list of function that take X as the first argument?
-- Could you give me an example that illustrates "exec"'ing the
contents of a text file from within Axiom? (This sort of thing
is used by SAGE when input lines are huge.)
