Dear org developers,

At the moment, ob-maxima has a straightforward way of evaluating
babel blocks,

#+begin_src shell
maxima --very-quiet -r batchload\(\"/tmp/ob-maximaFOOBAR.mac\"\)\$
#+end_src
(line 87 of ob-maxima.el),

I suggest replacing batchload with batch(), and changing line 73 from
"gnuplot_close ()$" to 	"gnuplot_close ()$ \nquit();"

The difference between "batch" and "batchload" is that "batch" can
process :lisp expressions in addition to maxima's own, and it prints
input/output labels. However, it is possible to customise label printing
from maxima's own code, and being able to evaluate :lisp just seems
uncontrovercially good.

It might be that I am missing something, but batch seems a better fit
for Org-Babel.
