So how much effort are you going to go to for, effectively, the same
end result? You can type "or" with the same keystrokes, and it takes
zero setup work and zero memorization (you may forget which keystroke
you set up for ∨, but I doubt you'll forget how to spell "or", even if
you think it means gold/yellow). Where's the benefit? I'm seriously
not seeing it.
