The names \alpha \beta etc are currently hardcoded in char-def. The only

Hans, we need to think of mechanism to switch between upright and italic
greek letters for the macros.
ok. actually, it's not that hard to do,
and i'd also provide an 0x1D6FC -> 0x03B1 and vise versa transformation
then (on unicode chars)
As long as there is still some way of getting 0x1D6FC in the output.
... so, you can
start thinking about proper names for the commands (\ugreek, \igreek or so);
I would prefer long names, say
\uprightalpha, \italicalpha, etc
or
\mathuprightalpha, \mathitalicalpha
Since, the user will usually just type \alpha, the long names should not
be a problem.
are there more such up/it things?
The differential operator has various conventions (upright, italic), but
unicode only provides the double struck version (0x2145, and 0x2146)
