Subject: Radical signs output for fractional degrees.

Hello!
We're still working on a custom version of Maxima (step-by-step output for
some problems)
I mentioned $tex function outputs the roots of degrees higher than 2 like
fractional degrees.
Maybe, Maxima doesn't use any roots, only fractional degrees.
(%i1) :lisp (mfuncall '$tex '((MEXPT SIMP) ((MPLUS SIMP) 1 $a) ((RAT SIMP) 1
3) ));
$$\left(a+1\right)^{{{1}\over{3}}}$$
The question is - how to make fractional degrees to be output as radical
signs (using \sqrt[root index]{expression})?
Sometimes, it is more understandable than fractional degrees, IMHO.
Even if it is not necessary for main Maxima version, we need it for our
custom version.
In this case we can pay for it.
If you are interested in this job - write me. We'll discuss the requirements
specification and payment details.
