The point is that the Maxima input and output formats don't match.
So this is really a problem of Maxima. It might be fixed in the future,
but that really depends on the Maxima developers. They basically should
output sin(x) instead of sin x and a macro or so for integrals.
For other systems like Pari or Mupad, copy and paste works as expected.
