title: Using lisp code in maxima
body: <p>I want to use <code>(make-array '(4 3 8))</code> in maxima which is basically to generate multi-d matrix as I am not able to find API to create multi-d matrices including with <code>array(name,d1,d2...dm)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I can execute it using <code>:lisp (make-array '(4 3 8))</code> but I don't know how I can label it as something like, </p>
  
  <p><code>arr: :lisp(make-array '(4 3 8))</code></p>
  
  <p>I also want to know if it is possible to use lisp code inside maxima functions. Any sort of help shall be highly regarded.</p>
