New description:
With maxima-as-an-ecl-library and ecl accessible as a library, we can
start interfacing with maxima via a binary library interface. This should
be more efficient and more robust, because expressions can be transmitted
in a much richer format than text and parsing does not have to recognise
error messages and questions (since communication does not go via
STDIN/STDOUT anymore).
Applies cleanly to 4.6.2.
This ticket is dependent on #10766, #10773, #10743. Ticket #10818 is
desirable but not essential. Apply:

Comment:
Coverage is great, I haven't tested formatting in built html but looks
like it will be fine overall, and in general very impressive work here.
The refactoring is at least working well with the interfaces in
doctesting; it would be nice to have more testing of that by heavy users
of (say) R or GAP, but at the very least we can set to 'needs review'.
