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.
