Re: new_variable

Cool!

How come the 'gensym' documentation doesn't mention 'new_variable' ?

You might be able to use the CL function gensym to define a function that does what you want; see 
 
http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_gensym.htm 
 
Alternatively:
 
(%i7) load(to_poly)$
 
(%i8) new_variable('real);
(%o8) %r510
 
(%i9) new_variable('complex);
(%o9) %c511
 
(%i10)          featurep(%,'complex);
(%o10) true
 
(%i11) new_variable('integer);
(%o11)          %z512
 
(%i12)          featurep(%,integer);
(%o12) true
