Heck:
If I understand the suggestion, it is:
1. Commit Enrico's patch, so that USERS can add things to the symbols
file, which might need packages that LyX does not recognize, and not
always have to include the package manually in the preamble. As Enrico
says, his earlier commit allowing for inclusion of the system symbols
file makes this especially easy now, so we might well expect users to
run into this sort of problem if they decide to start playing with the
symbols file.
2. Commit ourselves not to make use of this facility in the LyX
source: If we add things to the symbols file, then we will do so only
at major versions, adding suitable reversion routines, and including
relevant packages in simplefeatures or whatever is appropriate.
Yes, that's what I wanted to suggest.
Thanks. With this clarification, I'll commit the patch tomorrow, unless
there are any further objections.
