Is it possible to configure Maple to rather use space-time indices {0,1,2,3} rather than it's default {1,2,3,4}.

Published literature is full of the former, while it seems Maple cannot express indices as such and it creates havoc trying to convert between Maple results and published literature.

In particular, if I enter

Coordinates(X=(t,x,y,z));

Then Maple should be able to index the time "t" as zero.

Is this possible to configure Maple to do this ?
