Comment:
Since a console session and a session driven through expect are somewhat
different, I think it makes sense to source a different file. I could
have made it so that `console.g` reads in `sage.g` if it wasn't already
loaded, but I didn't see much use for the stuff in `sage.g` when
interacting directly with GAP.
This means there could be problems (I haven't tested) if someone calls
`SaveWorkspace` and overwrites Sage's workspace with one in which `$SAGE`
is not set. However, it is currently possible to do that anyway though
perhaps not quite as easily. A much simpler way to mess things up is
calling `$SAGE.StartInteract()` which screws with the expect interaction.
