Hi,

what is the best (and contextual) way of putting symbols or words onto
(a) arrows (->, <->, => etc) and (b) on equal signs (:=, = etc.).

The math module defines \overset and \underset as in amstex, as well as
\under....arrow and \over....arrow. If you don't want to use that, stick
with plain tex solutions.

I have to admitt that I forgot the module. I would like to see it moved
into the main distribution...

Sure, next on the to do list, but it needs a bit of clean up due to some
conflicts with existing code. Taco and I will do that asap.
