There might be two commands, one that inherits the text environment style, and 
one that keeps it in normal.

Math displayed formula text inheriting the style of the text appears in two 
books from first published in 1966 and 1980 that I checked.

So a math text command should probably support that style.


IIRC, that is also the case for the \text command in amsmath.

Hi Alan,

you should at least limit the scope of the command to math mode

\appendtoks
     \let\t\mathtext
     \let\w\mathword
\to \everymathematics

something

\ifdefined\t \else \unexpanded\def\t{\mathortext\text\mathtext} \fi
\ifdefined\w \else \unexpanded\def\w{\mathortext\word\mathword} \fi

\appendtoks
\let\t\mathtext
\let\w\mathword
\to \everymathematics

because sometimes a \t or \w is part of an expansion so we need it to be 
defined then (for instance, Alan loves to put lots of complex math in 
textext)

Math displayed formula text inheriting the style of the text appears in two 
books from first published in 1966 and 1980 that I checked.

So a math text command should probably support that style.

In many "less-rigorous" uses of equations, there is an abundant need
to include words (text) in mathematics, and using \mathtext{} or \mbox{}
or whatever is unwieldy.

Readable subscripts, self-explanatory variable names, etc. might be
text and not symbols. These situations can be very common. This is why I
asked (1) what is the right method, and (2) what do others think about
the shorthand \t{}, similar to the shorthand \m{}?
