Hi,

I have some

locale X =
fixes e :: "'a => 'a" ("e\<^sub>_")

so that for instance e\<^sub>x gets mapped to this symbol.
Now I want also inputs like "e\<^bsub> f a b <^esub>" to be mapped to this
symbol. How to do that on syntactical level, without fixing and defining a
second symbol in the locale ?

thanks for any help in advance.

Note that \<^sub> cannot really be used like this, because it operates on
a single symbol only. The argument filled in for 'a can be anything, not
just variables of > 1 letters, but arbitrarily complex terms.

Now I want also inputs like "e\<^bsub> f a b <^esub>" to be mapped to
this symbol.

Better use this form exclusively. Proof General provides a key sequence
that makes it as easy to enter as \<^sub> (see describe-mode).
