Sorry, in case it's not obvious, I meant:

Why would you say that 1+2=>3 is an "evaluation" (though not in Maxima
terms), but x+2*x => 3*x is not an "evaluation"?  What about %i+2*%i?

or

Why would you say that 1+2=>3 is an "evaluation" (though not in Maxima
terms), but x+2*x => 3*x is a "simplification"?  What about %i+2*%i?

... and how about x-x vs. %pi-%pi vs. 3.14-3.14?
