Always use the plain TeX approach, it should all work.

 HH> Taco, what's your opinion on this?

The in-line method might become deprecated with the advent of NTS, so
I favour the prefix style. Same for \over, \atop etc. These inline
primitives create some nasty problems with internally `undecided` 
subformulas. Some hard work is done on trying to remove them (since
that would consequently allow in-formula \fam switching).

So definately a prefix method. Not necesarily the LaTeX syntax
though. I'd prefer something like \radical[...=...]{n}{x}.  Let me
return on this later, OK? Hans, please don't implement anything yet.

Greetings, Taco
