There are several commands in lib/symbols which do not work without user 
preamble code. They are there because mathed can easily display these 
symbols, and they do not load the required packages automatically since they 
would have side effects.

The idea is simply to give a better display for those users who use these 
packages. AFAIK these commands do not occur in any toolbar, menu or 
autocompletion (and if they would this would be a bug).
