Putting the same definitions inside \startMPinclusions...
\stopMPinclusions does not seem to work with XeTeX.

Ah, I did not know about those commands: that works! Just a silly
question, though: how do I change
\startTeXtexts
\dorecurse{10}{\TeXtext{\recurselevel}{$x_{\recurselevel}$}}
\stopTeXtexts
so that I can print labels from x_0 up to x_9? Do I need to use
\defineconversion and \convertnumber?
