Why so offensive?

So what?
The reason for such function --- i was trying to replicate things i was 
doing in sage
(and in sage i was trying to imitate generic behaviour)

of the defect that you can.

Well, i didn't "report a bug", i started discussion
And there is "simple demo" in the first post

Maxima probably doesn't care about continuity, OK
But sage's wrapper does, i guess (since it was able to return correct 
answer, and i can't imagine such coincidence)

So the thing that i was claiming is wrong,
is that sage returns different results for fundamentally same inputs in 
different forms

Tell me if i am wrong
