I played around little bit to fix this bug. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem
that we can avoid calling "declare()" in maxima for each (complex)
variable defined in sage.

The best thing we can do is to delay the declaration into maxima until
we actually need to call maxima to do some computation.  This way
can avoid slowing down stuffs.

Maxima-interface experts: Is it possible to append such declaration
statements into maxima init string or similar?


Thanks,
Golam
