I know that some people use the ']b' map, and it does seem
very convenient.  But isn't there a danger that someone will
type

a[x]b[x]

and get garbage?  (Of course, not if they use automatic
bracket insertion, but they might not want to).  There are
lots of mathematical situations where functions have square
brackets.  I would not create a mapping like that for my own
typing.  

'?' seems like a reasonable mapleader, but it's harder to
type than ']', since you have to hold down the shift key,
and maybe it's wierd to use it as a mapleader.  

Would the apersand '&' be good?  That is not used in
mathematics, as far as I know.

Perhaps, since the backtick ` is already a mapleader, double
backtick `` should be the second mapleader?  

<Insert> might still be worth considering.

In any case, ther problem needs careful consideration.

Best wishes,
