I am not sure what you think is being duplicated. Do you mean the
duplication of the example and src blocks? I am not aware of how to
remove that duplication--all the examples I have found in the worg
source do what I have done above.

The prologue header is put into a temporary source file, along with the
body and epilogue and it is read by Maxima's `batchload' command. So
using a prologue is too late, because I need to overwrite `batchload' by
its more verbose companion `batch'. That is why `maxima-init.lisp' is
pre-loaded.
