It might exist only in our heads :-) But there is actually a file
todo.txt that is here in sage-3.2.*:
devel/sage/sage/symbolic/todo.txt
and it's under revision control. If you looked it over, cleaned
it up a little, thought about what is not listed there but will be
needed in order to fully get rid of the maxima-based symbolic
variables, and submitted a patch (to todo.txt) that would be
very helpful, I think. Well, since Burcin is probably going to
do the work, I hope he agrees with me that this would be
helpful.
