I think of textext (and \sometxt) as a substitute for btex ... etex, 
not of label. I substitute of label should also accept a position 
variable, so that one could write

texlabel.top("$x^2$", origin) ;

I know this should be simple, but I do not understand the metapost 
macro language to write such a macro. Writing

label.top(textext("$x^2$"), origin) is too verbose. Suggestions?
