Comment(by kcrisman):
With the new ECL and the new Maxima, I no longer get the error messages
about installing a .fas or .fasb file. That is good.
Anyway, doctest should just be changed for the loading thing, regardless
of where it does it. All documentation requests do that, as does running
maxima_console(). Unless... before, maxima_console() gave three loading
statements, the last two of which are the ones which show up in your
examples. Now there are five, but the top two are new... are we stripping
away three load statements in the output, but not more? Just a wild idea.
As for the last error, here it is in the maxima_console() - something's
not going right.

Yet in the previous one we get
{{{

which sure looks the same to me, yet Sage catches it correctly before and
not now! What the heck?
