Comment(by mjo):

 The whole

 {{{
 desolve(..., make_it_work=True)
 }}}

 approach is silly. If we don't get a solution without it, we should use
 contrib_ode. If we know the variables are real, we should set domain=real.

 It might require a second ticket and some work on MaximaLib/desolve, but
 we shouldn't just paper over the fact that this doesn't work (and is a
 regression in that regard). Requiring the user to manually set the domain
 '''is''' a regression.
