I suggest a simplifying non-subscripted notation for the hypergeometric
functions:
(0) The subscripts on %f give redundant information. We could have maxtex &
displa
include these subscipts.
(1) I think gradef & and subscripted functions aren't compatible.
(2) Subscripted functions make everything harder. (Subscripted simplifying
functions are possible (correct?), but I don't know how it works.)
