Thank you everyone for the great response,
Now there are many choices for "evaluated from a to b" which will work
well in different situations. Math fonts might prove to be the best
solution for many situations, but I did not try them, these will work
great for me.
Just to summarize the best looking ones, (for posterity):
(I recommend that you copy and paste them all and pick what you need)
left[ f(x) right]_a ^b newline
f(x) size*1.7 "|"_a^b newline
f(x) left lline stack{b # "" # a} right none newline
left none f(x) right rline ^b_a newline newline
left none f(x) size *2 phantom {} right rline ^b_a newline
f(x) {size *2 \rline} ^b_a newline
left none stack{ {} # f(x)# {} } right rline ^b_a
Thank you,
Michael Lichtenstein

Provided that you don't really want the right line to be as big as in
the ASCII display above I would suggest this:
left none f(x) right rline ^a_b newline
If you like to have the right line longer you could try one of these
left none f(x) size *2 phantom {} right rline ^a_b newline
f(x) {size *2 \rline} ^a_b newline
And if you badly like to have that right line centered and not aligned
at the baseline you can use
left none stack{ {} # f(x)# {} } right rline ^a_b
Have a nice day,
Thomas
