With the symbolics rewrite moving quickly, I'd like to request that if possible people try to avoid adding more "Maxima-isms" to sage.calculus. Specifically, if functionality is being added, please try to keep it "general" in that the design of the functionality is not dictated by what Maxima does. Functions that pass arguments directly to Maxima are especially bad, as I either have to break API compatibility or write complicated, expensive (to write and to execute) parsers to allow backwards compatibility, and I'm not a very big fan of having to remove interfaces that were added less then a month before. This applies primarily to things like assume(x, "analytic") or otherwise where we are just passing a symbolic expression directly to Maxima without any real internal logic (which is also bad because it means the code isn't really doing any error checking either).
