What side effect do you have in mind here?
using it as normal character .. it's often harder to turn off features than to turn on
and making all those characters active by default is not a good idea
The use in the source code helps readability of math formulas, though.
it's no problem to make a module that supports that but it will never be default (some \mathcommand's represent base characters then become larger for instance while the corresponding base character is fixed in size), so ∫ by default is the character and not the 'adapting construct' (tex often has many commands for the same symbol doing different things) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
