Comment(by kcrisman):

 I think that b. makes sense.  You'd also have to add `max_lambert_w` at
 about [http://hg.sagemath.org/sage-
 main/file/c239be1054e0/sage/interfaces/maxima_lib.py#l1093 this spot] but
 having numerical integrals would be worth it.

 I assume that this is a pretty easy change?  If not, I guess we could just
 document that this doesn't work yet.  In either case something should be
 documented, though, since half of our bug reports seem to be people using
 new, cool functionality who then expect that new functionality to be fully
 featured as well - i.e., it's not really a bug report at all, but a
 feature request.  Having good doc for what we ''don't'' do will help with
 that.
