My theory is:
* use the proper glyphs for the ASCII chars (Your change does it.)
- for a while, an underscore also serves as the assignment
operator, but at one point we should make it an ordinally
letter.
* utilize the leftarrow and uparrow from the Unicode.
- When the user types $: and then $=, the editor converts it to a leftarrow.
- if you don't want them converted type $:, space, $= and remove
the space.
- When the user types $^, the editor converts it to an uparrow.
- with some other combination, the user will get $^.
- They are filed out as UTF-8.
- If the user doesn't like UTF-8, we can provide an option to do
it in ASCII (or MacRoman).
- Filing in them preserve the chars in the file out in general.
They don't generally auto-convert the ASCII representation to Uncode.
- ...
