Summary: Maxima can't evaluate limit(sin(n*x)/n,n,inf)

Initial Comment:
As in summary

(%i1) limit(sin(n*x)/n,n,inf);
                                        sin(n x)
(%o1)                          limit    --------
                               n -> inf    n

but it should be 0

Message:
When x = %i, the value of the limit isn't zero.  But Maxima assumes all
variables are real-valued.
