Some links dealing with this:

http://www.mapleprimes.com/blog/jacquesc/old-timer-techniques

http://www.mapleprimes.com/forum/algorithms-used-in-maple

http://thproxy.jinr.ru/Documents/MapleV/qa/section3_4.html

I've used the printlevel and I think the showstat techniques before. 
Unfortunately, I can't test them because I no longer have access to 
Maple (at least on my home machine).  I guess that's they whole point 
again---even if there is some way for someone to get the output of the 
procedure, it doesn't do me any good because I don't have Maple and 
can't check it anyway.

Whether or not using printlevel or showstat is legal (in light of Josh's 
response from Maple) is an interesting question.  They are built-in 
capabilities meant for introspection.  They were also encouraged by the 
Maple people in the above posts.
