Georg, this is your code. Do you remember what the reasoning was?
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).
That is a bit confusing for the user. Is there anything we can do?
