(This is just a side-track on HOL notation, which came to me when cleaning up theories with old ASCII replacement syntax like & | --> <-> Un Int etc. -- which is very easy with explicit C+b completion in Isabelle/jEdit.)

Isabelle/4379d46c8e13 (Oct 2005) introduces "alternative iff syntax for equality on booleans, with print_mode 'iff'".

I can't remember a particular reason for the print mode, instead of having that syntax always on. I find myself using the "iff" notation most of the time to make theories look "nice".

Are there clubs of "iff" vs. "non-iff"? If almost everybody is a member of the "iff" club we could just remove that print mode. (We don't have to consider that for the coming release, to avoid any real-time pressure on this question.)
