Greetings! Just to report that maxima's current use of $gensym (at least as of commit b6d66ad4e which is doubtless out of date by now) creates an implicit dependency on an unchanged *gensym-counter* binding, i.e. that the sequence of lisp gensym names are presented to $gensym in the conventional order. Should an implementation reset the outer binding of *gensym-counter*, this will generate test suite failures. I have a test case if anyone is interested. The ansi spec says
*gensym-counter* can be either assigned or bound at any time, but its value must always be a non-negative integer. This is obviously not too important, and gcl will make sure to stay clear of this for maxima's sake.
