Euler symbol about typst-physics HOT 3 CLOSED

Honestly speaking, I do not think it should be included in physica.

• You can simply #let eu = math.upright("e") and write $eu$.
• Upright e may not be a universal convention. Wikipedia uses the italic e, and the LaTeX package physics does not offer it.
• Besides, I think eu is too confusing. European Union, Euler's constant γ, …

• You are right. A custom definition is easy. And this the way I am already using it.
• There is the standard ISO 80000-2 mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_notation with upright constants. But of course traditionally it is not used everywhere consequently.
  I am coming from the field of chemistry where we adhere more or less to the IUPAC convention with upright constants.
• Regarding the abbreviation: This was only an example which came to mind first because I'm already using it.

Thanks for your work and feel free to close if this didn't change your mind.

Hi - I agree with the difficulty of deciding whether the upright form is the most universal, and naming it "eu" may conflate with others (especially, Euler's constant).

Giving it a longer and more descriptive name makes sense (euler-symbol?), but the benefits would be much less compared to just going with user-customized #let eu = math.upright("e"). The user-customized version is easier to type, and unambiguous (since users defined it themselves).

I'll close the issue for the moment, but thanks for opening this issue & letting me know your use cases!
