I think the question can be interpreted as a formating/display problem

If you believe so... Let me state it a bit differently what
datastructure comes out of the series command. Or rather what is stored
inside the data structure.
Here an example:
(1) -> Z==>Integer; Q==>Fraction Z;
Type:
Void
(2) -> f(q:Q):Q == truncate(abs(q*cos(q::Float))+1)*(q/2+1)
Function declaration f : Fraction(Integer) -> Fraction(Integer) has
been added to workspace.
Type:
Void
(3) -> s: Stream Q := stream(f, 0)
Compiling function f with type Fraction(Integer) -> Fraction(Integer
)
3 7 15 31 63 127 255 511
(3) [0,1,-,-,--,--,--,---,---,---,...]
2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256
Type:
Stream(Fraction(Integer))
(4) -> p:=series(s)$UnivariateFormalPowerSeries(Q)
(4)
3 2 7 3 15 4 31 5 63 6 127 7 255 8 511 9
x + - x + - x + -- x + -- x + -- x + --- x + --- x + --- x
2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256
+
1023 10 11
---- x + O(x )
512
Type:
UnivariateFormalPowerSeries(Fraction(Integer))
The only thing that s (the Stream) knows is a function object f (if you
like you can use f=random). It cannot look inside f except to ask for
more values. Remember AXIOM code is compiled.
If from that you would somehow be able to extract a pattern, great, but
I doubt.
Of course I am not that familiar with the Axiom internals.
Well, you might come from another CAS. AXIOM *is* different. It is in
general *not* dealing with expression trees. So what you have in mind
(adding presentation) does not work for Stream of Series.
That is not saying that it is impossible, but rather that the Stream and
PowerSeries domains are not appropriate for what you have in mind. (And
at the moment I don't think there is anything like what you want in Axiom.)

PS: BTW, why didn't you continue on the mailing list?
I made a mistake :) I have forwarded it.
Everything seems reasonable; stream seems to
have invented an iterator but I guess that's implicit (tacit?) in the 0
of stream(f, 0). And series() seems to have
invented x and the number of terms it is going to display but these
things are not real killers.
I will attempt an explicit translation (say something that could be done
by awk) later.
