I see, but with `latex-pretty-symbol' only "^{1}" is prettified, not
"^{12}" for example, in my opinion its utility is limited.

Actually you don't need to issue `TeX-fold-clearout-buffer' before
`TeX-fold-buffer', but this isn't the point.  IIUC, you'd prefer
automatic folding as you type, right?  I'm not aware of such a feature
and a quick look to the manual doesn't help me.

Pperhaps last Tassilo's commit has something to do with this topic
(not TeX-folding-mode though).
