A couple of comments

  * can we put all the dictionaries and data into a single file
    (_mathtext_data).  I would rather not have a proliferation of
    support modules for mathtext


  * do we really need dictionaries for tex2uni and uni2tex.  Would it
    not be better to define tex2uni and then do

     uni2tex =3D dict([(v,k) for k,v in tex2uni.items()])
