std.qbk

Before I do a lot of typing, I wanted to sure I am on the right track ;-)

For a .qbk file contain common greek and math symbols

templates are preferred

[template alpha '''α''']
[template beta '''β'''] ...

to macros

[def __alpha '''α''']
[def __Alpha '''Α''']

And how should I name, epecially to distiguish between upper and lower case

[template GAMMA '''Γ''']

or

[template Gamma '''Γ''']

So far I have called it squiggles.qbk but what would be the best name?

glyphs.qbk?

std.qbk?  

And what should it contain?

http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/symbols.html

shows the main greek and math symbols.

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/docbook/chapter/book/iso-grk1.html

is from the Docbook book which gives 'names to entities like alpha agr, Agr, bgr, ...

as well as descriptions like Greek small letter alpha, ...

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/docbook/chapter/book/refchar.html gives the full sets of 'squiggles'.

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/docbook/chapter/book/iso-tech.html is a useful collection of technical symbols for math etc.

Or are we in danger of inveenting the wheel here?

What else should std.qbk contain?

Suggestions?
