   It has been pointed out that there were other possibilities from the
   palette of available characters.  And if they didn't *care*, as you 
   put it, which I am almost sure most of them will deny, that is an
   explicit statement to the mathematical and scientific community that
   they will have to establish their own CS programs to develop it, and
   consider what the CS language guys are doing as no more relevant than
   natural language research into Nostratic.

You are finally getting the point: evidently, your needs are not
served by the large amount of current research on programming
languages, even scientific ones. I don't consider that an indictment
of current research programs. If you want something different, you
have to invest your time, effort, and money.
