| Are you suggesting that sage have three separate interfaces:
|
| sage: axiom.eval('2+2')
| 4
| sage: open_axiom.eval('2+2')
| 4
| sage: fricas.eval('2+2')
|

I'm suggesting that since the three software can coexist on a single
filesystem and as standalone binaries, it makes the most sense that
Sage's interface does also make room for them to coexist in a Sage
session as you show above -- would a user elect to install Sage
optional packages for all three. [ This, of course, does not mean
that the Sage people have to implement all three. ]
