These precedence numbers seem to apply only to the generation
of LaTeX code for this case, i.e. )set output tex on. The LaTeX
coding was (almost) correct. Martin's patch of tex.spad corrects
an error in the special case of nested products.

But the real problem is in the generation of the text, i.e
)set output algebra on, case. This is produced in a different
manner than the LaTeX output and does not seem to use these
precedence numbers. Am I wrong? I am still trying to see how
it actual does work.
