Comment (by rws):

 The second issue this ticket depends on concerns the Maxima interface in
 item 5. Although Pynac will handle this there is e.g.:
 {{{
 sage: from sage.symbolic.relation import test_relation_maxima
 sage: test_relation_maxima(I>0)
 False
 }}}
 but in Maxima
 {{{
 (%i8) is(I>0);
 (%o8)                               unknown
 }}}
 so the 'unknown' result should raise a `NotImplementedError` in
 `__nonzero__` because Maxima does not distinguish between `known
 undecidable` and `unknown`.
