Any macro could have *two* definitions: a GUI one (generated by
mathed), and a LaTeX one, which defaults to the visible one. An
additional possibility would be not to output any \newcommand, to
handle the case where the macro is defined by the documentclass, but
mathed does not know about it.
Wouldn't this make everybody happy?
