Currently the if f is a maxima object the f.integrate('x'), says, gives
another maxima object. You can get the string rep of that object, or
call functions with it as input.
If we are going to reparse maxima results back to SAGE (and it's not 100%
clear to me yet if we will, but it's likely), we'll "just" have to define
all the objects that can appear in a maxima expression, do a little
preparsing
(e.g., replace %pi by pi), then call sage_eval on the string.
