what do you mean with this? I would really like to understand the
differences underlying the current SAGE's symbolic approach with
respect to yours. I think that for the moment I will stick with SymPy,
it being the only package with a reasonable support to transforms and
staff like that. The problem with Maxima is that, apart for not having
found any function related to this (maybe it's there in maxima/share,
but I don't know whether it's well tested), I found rather complicated
to interact with maxima from SAGE, when issues are not plain simple
and straightforward (even "Assume()" is not always easy to use from
SAGE, imho). Do you have suggestions?

Which is the difficulty level for this staff? I don't know how SymPy
is currently developed, but what is the roadmap for this staff? I am
wondering if implementing a Fourier transform in Symbolics is just
writing down the well known formula and hope for the integrating
engine to perform the best :)

Thanks again for the great work

Maurizio
