The _expression_ x[1] in Maxima is actually a list element, but wxMaxima and TeXmacs will display it as x_sub_1, which is very nice to read especially when you deal with long _expression_.  I have been use this to put subscript under variables.  However, it is a bad habit in terms of Maxima usage.

  If the frontend engine, such as wxMaxima or TeXmacs can display x_1 as (imagine this in your mind) x_sub_1, then the frontend did its great job by display the Maxima results in a more human readable form. 

One step further, if TeXmacs can display x_alpha as x_sub_(Greek font alpha), then it will be event better.  For some reason, my Texmacs 1.0.6 will display x_alpha as x'alpha.  I don't know why there is a "single quote"-like stuff in between.

Also, although a variable, alpha, will be display as (Greek font alpha) even without a leading %, but alpha_1 will break the magic and no Greek font will be displayed.  If TeXmacs can display that as (Greek font alpha)_sub_1, then it will be fantastic.

Thank you for the consideration of this request.
