one solution mentioned was making that character active and then do an 
unexpanded def which makes it roundtrip safe;  of course we should leave 
characters like : untouched

the remapper works on all input and it might result in unwanted side 
effects .. imagine that someone defines symbol 1 as • and gets \item 
instead
