\iint, \iiint, \iiiint and \idotsint are also provided by amsmath. We could
delete the current definitions for \iint and \iiint from lib/symbols and
replace it with the following:
\def\iint{\int\kern-6mu\int}
\def\iiint{\int\kern-6mu\int\kern-6mu\int}
\def\iiiint{\int\kern-6mu\int\kern-6mu\int\kern-6mu\int}
\def\idotsint{\int\kern-3mu\cdots\kern-3mu\int}
That works perfectly on screen, and the output is consistent. But then we
have the old problem again: LyX does not know that these symbols need
amsmath. And we still have no \oiint.
I would prefer the ams versions if possible, since ams is widely available
and looks better than wasy IMHO. We could then hardcode the requirement of
amsmath for the integral symbols into MathMacro::validate().
In the long run we need a way to specify requirements in lib/symbols.

I don't know. I never heard of it before, and it is not included in tetex
2.0.
