TeXmacs pumps *everything* it outputs via its translation engine, 
including file names (it translates /home too), names of computer algebra 
systems (like Axiom), and so on. This "feature" is as old as the 
translation mechanism in TeXmacs. I told Joris that this is not acceptable 
many times. The answer always was that he wants to implement a completely 
new and far better translation mechanism, and until that (indefinite) 
moment he does not want to fix the obvious bug in the existing mechanism.
