Yes, but I can't seem to be able to use it. The code in
/usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/progs/utils/plugins/ makes me believe that
the default for the :serialize option is verbatim-serialize. But if I
do "(:serializer verbatim-serialize)", then I get as error:

 /usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/progs/utils/plugins/plugin-cmd.scm:143:9: In 
expression (fun lan t):
 /usr/share/texmacs/TeXmacs/progs/utils/plugins/plugin-cmd.scm:143:9: Wrong 
type to apply: verbatim-serialize

While the code in question is:

  (if fun
        (fun lan t)
        (verbatim-serialize lan t))

So, it would fallback to verbatim-serialize if I hadn't given
anything? There must be something I'm missing.
