Is there is need for a collection of commonly used greek and math symbols?

John Maddock and I have certainly found we needed them for recent documentation 
production.

For example (also attached as .qbk)


[/Collection of squiggles that we have found useful so far in preparing the 
maths function and stats distributions documention]

[def __effects [*Effects: ]]
[def __formula [*Formula: ]]
[def __exm1 '''<code>e<superscript>x</superscript> - 1</code>''']
[def __ex '''<code>e<superscript>x</superscript></code>''']

[def __alpha '''&#945;''']
[def __lambda '''&#955;'''][/lower case]
[def __Lambda '''&#923;'''][/upper case]
[def __gamma '''&#947;''']

[def __sigma '''&#963;''']

[def __quarter '''&#x00BC;''']

I am sure the list could be a lot longer.

Does anyone else have a similar list?

Should a list like this be added to the release?

Other other suggestions?
