He probably is a top-grade philosopher too but that was not my meaning.
I was contrasting "Aberg's extrapolation" with Y&Y's, which was:
I think the reason (if any) to make the distinction of setting these upright
is that they are mulitletter combinations rather than that they are functions.
This helps distinquish `sin' from the product of s, i, and n.

He also pointed out, very wisely, that this discussion has rambled far
too far from anything relevant to taco's work or even to the Unicode
submission.
