Actually it sort of looks just plain wrong.

Lamport LaTex says \: provides medium spacing rather
than whatever the default would be;

Spivak Joy p.220 talks about spacing similarly but
he seems flub it in line (12) of his example versus
his discussion below it -- missing a colon in the TeX.

So the notion of "something over something else" seems
to have gotten lost.  And in the interpreter's output
\: looks appropriately used, for spacing.

Ralf,

This was probably a latex macro for
\[ a \mathrel{\mathop{\rightleftarrows}^{\mathrm{over}}_{\mathrm{under}}} b\]

which uses the amssymb package to create


             over
       a  ---------> b
          <--------
            under

What confuses me is what is currently produced.
The TeX output is pretty useless. The algebra output rather confuses me.
without the | it would perhaps be like what Tim says.

Anyhow, it looks like there is need for a better specification.
I'm not going to support this in my new TexFormat.
