   sure.   
      
   Maxima returns the result   
   integrate(x*f(x),x)   
      
   Looks right to me.   
      
   now if you declare that the antiderivative of f(x) is F(x), then   
   one can integrate(x*f(x^2),x)   
   and get F(x^2)/2   
      
   (This can be done by load(partition);   
   intable[f] : lambda([u],  [F(u),diff(u,%voi)]);   
   gradef(F(x),f(x));   
   intfudu(x*f(x^2),x);
