Hi Hans and Taco,

I recently came across mathlig.tex (ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/generic/misc/mathlig.tex) which allows one to write

\mathlig {->} {\rightarrow}

and then in math mode -> will be equal to \rightarrow so one can just write

$A -> B$

Yes, that reads much better. It really should be a separate module because of potential conflicts with active characters, but you can just incorporate the existing mathlig.tex wholesale in a module file since it appears to work (but consider using \protect/\unprotect instead of the @ trickery)

Here is the first attempt. I have cleaned up mathlig.tex. Aditya
