You may be right in that this is the best short-term solution.
I can hardly list all the places where such definitions may cause
trouble. Specifically, I remember defining `(' at some point (preceding
opening parentheses with an unbreakable space so that they can't appear
at the beginning of a line --- arguably, one can live without it), which
then caused trouble with `xticks' and similar options of address@hidden' whose
body is passed directly to the PostScript back-end.
I'd suspect most other places where code is directly passed to the
PostScript back-end are located in address@hidden' (and address@hidden' in
particular).
Are there other such places?
Personally, I would go for a single include file (e.g., `spacing') and
put all the definitions in there. Each definition would contain an
address@hidden' dependent on address@hidden' so that the right spacing rule is
chosen in all places of a document.
Also, rather than defining all these symbols at the top-level, maybe we
could make them extend address@hidden', although that would not make a
huge difference in the end.
I'd be happy to gather languages' spacing rules and try to build up such
a file for the next release.
Thanks,
Ludovic.
