Unlike Nabla, these characters do not have any bold or sans-serif
variants, so it does not make sense to define math-mappings for them.
The only other character that I could find with multiple alternatives is
the partial symbol. So, I suggest the following macro:
\definemathmappings % and \setupmathmappings
[....]
[digits=...,
uclatin=....,
lclatin=....,
ucgreek=...,
lcgreek=...,
nabla=...,
partial=...]
Other symbols (blackboard sum, differential operator, etc) are better
handled by a dedicated macro rather than input mappings.
If there are no other concerns, Hans, Mojca, and I can take this offline.
Aditya
