Comment(by nbruin):

 The following doctest from calculus.py now goes wrong:
 {{{
 limit(-e^(x^2)*erf(x) + e^(x^2), x=oo)
 }}}
 Which stumbles at calculus.calculus.limit at these lines:
 {{{
    1122     return l.sage()
    1123     return ex.parent()(l)
 }}}
 Two return statements??? A little {{{hg -blame}}} points to #7661. Indeed,
 commenting out line 1122 fixes a lot of the limit problems. However,
 Burcin put in that line for a reason, I assume, so I'm hesitant to just
 commit a reversal.

 Note that the issue of #7661 is exactly due to a namespace collapse from
 SR -> Maxima; something this interface could eventually solve much more
 elegantly, by just mapping (at no cost) SR.var('x') to the maxima
 identifier "sage_SR_var_x".
