Summary: ?room() instead of room()

Initial Comment:
Maxima documents a room function, but one must call it as ?room().
Further,  contrary to the the documentation ?room() and ?room(false)
give the same information (at least it does under gcl).

Change the documentation to something like

 - Function: ?ROOM ( )
     types out a description of the state of storage and stack
     management in Maxima.  This simply utilizes the Lisp ROOM
     function.

Indeed (room), (room nil) and (room t) all give the same
imformation.  So this is GCL feature.

Personally I prefer to rename ?room() to room().

Would you prefer room() instead of ?room()?  Adding room()
is straightforward.

Also, room(false), room(), and room(true) produce different
results on CMUCL, so I suspect gcl doesn't have any extra
info at all.
