New description:

 User 'Mathemage' reports at [http://ask.sagemath.org/question/1611
 /existence-of-a-limit this ask.sagemath.org question] that
 {{{
 sage: bool( lim(sin(x), x=oo) == ind)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call
 last)

 NameError: name 'ind' is not defined
 }}}
 and indeed although Maxima outputs this for similar limits, we do not have
 a conversion.

 What the heck would we do with it, anyway?  Does any other Sage subsystem
 have such an element?  Does Maxima even have it, or just print it?
 Anyway, worth exploring.
