bug]. Obviously it is a low priority for them to make the output backwards
compatible. I wonder if we should just fully switch to `maxima_lib.py` and
do not try to deal with this in some other way?

think it's a very low priority, because the current behaviour is
tantamount to writing `(sin)(x)`, which is silly. I would not be surprised
if in the next couple of weeks, when he has had a chance to think about a
solution, he will have a fix. I'm sure it's not hard to fix. It just needs
some thought to fix it properly and efficiently.

has to put up with this for the time being.
I'd rather see this fixed im maxima, of course, but this is probably a
nontrivial job for a Lisp hacker we don't have...
