This would be a nice feature.  Being able to add super or sub scripts to
function or variable names which are purely symbolic (i.e. not array, or power
designators) would be handy.  That way I could import the latex output directly
into an openoffice document without having to rework it to fit conventions in
the area a document is being written about.

For example in semiconductors it is very normal to have %phi[MS](T) = X[ij]+...
where the MS and the ij mean nothing.
