Any thoughts? Either both or the long form only, memory is no longer a reason to create funny names like \infty (can we add \infinity please) I strongly disagree with the idea not defining the forms \lbrack and \lbrace. How do you understand both? Fact is that Knuth defined them in the base of TeX's math. We should at least stay compatible with that. And please do not also kill \infty. Why then not also change \equiv to \equivalent, \approx to \approximate etc, etc? If we start diverging in that way, we loose all ground. To me that sounds as a horror scenario. Who said anything about removing \infty, when you read between the lines I asked if we can add \infinity as long form for \infty.
