 The function find_maximum_on_interval fails when used with a sage function
 that is passed as an argument:

 {{{
 sage: f(x) = sin(x)
 sage: find_maximum_on_interval(f, 0, 2*pi)
 Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback)
 ...
 RuntimeError: ECL says: THROW: The catch MACSYMA-QUIT is undefined.
 }}}
 while all of:
 {{{
 sage: find_minimum_on_interval(f, 0, 2*pi)
 (-1.0, 4.7123889815323858)
 sage: f.find_minimum_on_interval(0, 2*pi)
 (-1.0, 4.7123889815323858)
 sage: f.find_maximum_on_interval(0, 2*pi)
 (1.0, 1.570796325647202)
 }}}
 works. This was kind of unexpected, esp that documentation says about
 providing a function as an argument.
