#800 upper case vs. lower case

[Volker van Nek]

Can someone explain?

(%i1) load(flatten);
(%o1)
F:/Programme/Maxima-5.9.1/share/maxima/5.9.1/src/flatten.lisp
(%i2) flatten([[1,2],[3,4]]);
(%o2) flatten([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
(%i3) Flatten([[1,2],[3,4]]);
(%o3) [1, 2, 3, 4]

I'll let someone else explain what is going on. To avoid this
problem, use load("flatten") instead of load(flatten). In
Maxima 5.9.2, you shouldn't have to load a file to use 'flatten'

(%i1) load("flatten");
(%o1)
C:/PROGRA~1/MAXIMA~1.1/share/maxima/5.9.1/src/flatten.li
sp
(%i2) flatten([[2,3],[5,6]]);
(%o2) [2,3,5,6]

flatten is now built in Maxima. It is not necessary to call
load(flatten) nor load("flatten"), and flatten (something),
writing flatten in lowercase, calls the flatten function.

In 5.9.1.9rc4,

(%i2) flatten ([[1,2],[3,4]]);
(%o2) [1, 2, 3, 4]

Closing this report as fixed.
