Comment:

 Overall this is very nice.  I have two questions.

 1. If I do type(u) (for instance), I just get 'instance' as the type,
 whereas for something like t._maxima_() I get type giving a Maxima
 interface element or something.  Is there any way to make type(u) give
 something more useful (perhaps inheriting from another class?  I don't
 know.).

 2. Tab-completion works great, and just like as with other Maxima things
 (which means getting functions which don't actually apply, such as
 triangularize, but whatever, since it's the same behavior).  But one of
 the doctests for it doesn't seem to work - I get [] instead of the
 appropriate list.  Do you have some extra initialization in your Maxima
 that allows u.trigs to complete to the appropriate thing, but not
 u.simplify (this is the one that returns [] for me)?  I should point out
 that u.simplify[tab] doesn't work either for me, so the doctest is
 behaving 'correctly in that sense.
