Inspired by the physics package on CTAN, this package defines some
simple macros for mathematical notation which make the code more
readable and/or allow flexibility in typesetting material. At the
moment it only contains the few macros I could gather from my own
projects. I will be on the lookout for more nontrivial pieces of
notation that could benefit from semantic markup.
