Yes, that's what I meant, and you are confirming my assumption.

But shouldn't Maxima even give an error message when you ask it to solve an 
inequality in the complex field? I have asked this in the Maxima tracker: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2783/
Why does "sage: solve(x^2 <= -1, x)" give []? Ether 'solve' or Maxima seems 
to have switched to "domain: real" to make sense of the input. Maybe that's 
what 'solve' should always automatically do when it is called on an 
inequality?
