Mmmm, more specification needed.  Add "letter" to the constraint.

(compressing messages)
As to your assertion of discrimination against Greek:  my point was  
that mathematical notation *already* discriminates against speakers of  
Greek by appropriating their alphabet for its own purposes, so if you  
want to enable a mathematical-notation language mode it's already  
difficult to support a Greek localization.  (I do wonder how modern  
Greek mathematicians deal with this....)
