Mucking around with whitespace is necessary with the current version of the maxima() function : something here doesn't like to receive empty lines. Furthermore, Maxima grammar, a bit Lisp-like (minus parentheses), doesn't differentiate betw een quantities of whitespace (in other words, it isn't Python :-). So it was simpler to condensate all this whitespace.Of course, the present version will have problems for example with strings containing semicolons...

Non-trivial in both cases. I plan to muck around the command-line version to see how it behaves in this respect (but when ?). Maybe also the code fpr the (cell-)magic %r and %maxima of the Sage notebook, which do The Right Thin (TM) (if I can make head or tail of the code...).
