[Maxima] stuff not in 5.13 branch

[Robert Dodier]

Hi,

I'm tagging a 5.13 release branch now. I'll take a moment now to
mention some stuff which I've brought up on the mailing list,
which is not going to be in the 5.13 branch. In case anyone was
wondering.

(1) documentation category stuff -- sorry, still nowhere near finished.

(2) customizable TeX environments -- I have a patch but it needs
work or at least review.

(3) variable subscript of literal list or matrix -- this concept got
some support but not enough time before the branch. Next release.

(4) integer exponents as repeated multiplication -- I dropped this one.
I'll probably bring up about the underlying problem (reproducibilityof
floating point results) later on.


FWIW
