Function: NICEINDICES (expr)
will take the expression and change all the indices of sums and
products to something easily understandable. It makes each index it can
"I" , unless "I" is in the internal expression, in which case it
sequentially tries J,K,L,M,N,I0,I1,I2,I3,I4,... until it finds a legal
index.
Variable: NICEINDICESPREF
default: [I,J,K,L,M,N] - the list which NICEINDICES uses to find
indices for sums and products. This allows the user to set the order of
preference of how NICEINDICES finds the "nice indices". E.g.
NICEINDICESPREF:[Q,R,S,T,INDEX]$. Then if NICEINDICES finds that it
cannot use any of these as indices in a particular summation, it uses
the first as a base to try and tack on numbers. Here, if the list is
exhausted, Q0, then Q1, etc, will be tried.
