Comment(by jpflori):

 I saw that commit but I must admit I do not understand whether that
 actually modified the behavior of Maxima and slatec or not.

 My point here is that we should get rid of the now useless lines of  code
 and if possible document it properly either in the file itself or  in
 SPKG.txt with a pointer to the corresponding Maxima commit and some
 explanation.

 Deciding whether the current behavior of letting the user know that  an
 error occurred through the last value of the tuple (as maxima does)  which
 is already document, or whether we should actually look at that  value in
 Sage itself and raise an actual Error accordingly can be done  later (or
 not, I'll personally live with it as it is).
