* Turn subscript off by default?

Hello all,

In more documents than not, it seems I see someone do something like

  foo_bar

Common, of course, because most orgmode users are programmers.

Of course this results in the super awkward rendering of
foo(subscripted:bar).

I can't remember *ever* making use of subscript in an orgmode document,
though I and many others have run into problems with it... why not
switch the default for subscript to off?

Put

  (setq org-use-sub-superscripts '{})

in your .emacs file.

Best regards,

Helpful!  And indeed, I was discussing defaults, since I get a lot of
exports from others who don't know about this variable... maybe this
should be default behavior?
