I created a patch, bit horrid even by my standards.  Feedback?  Should I 
cleanup a little an put on Savannah?  Maybe the global variable thing is 
better...

Here's it in action:

>> {1  3  x  x+sin(x/2)  [x 2; pi x/2] infsup(0,1) {1 infsup(1,2); 3 x}}
ans =
{
  [1,1] =  1
  [1,2] =  3
  [1,3] =   x
  [1,4] =
           ⎛x⎞
    x + sin⎜─⎟
           ⎝2⎠
  [1,5] =
    ⎡x  2⎤
    ⎢    ⎥
    ⎢   x⎥
    ⎢π  ─⎥
    ⎣   2⎦
  [1,6] = <class infsup>
  [1,7] =
  {
    [1,1] =  1
    [2,1] =  3
    [1,2] = <class infsup>
    [2,2] =   x
  }
}

Notice @infsup has no disp.m so gets a place-holder.
