I think that it is important. %> %>1) We had an amusing incident recently when someone spell-checked a %>document. They had redefined \begin{eqnarray} as \beq, purely out of %>laziness. The spell checker would normally skip over the math but in this %>case could not identify it. %> %>2) Editors are often clever enough to identify structure. I use emacs in %>auc-tex mode. This is a folding editor, showing only section headings until %>you open them up. It's really useful even on modestly-sized documents. It %>would be possible, though irritating to redefine the heading patterns in %>auc-tex for each set of LaTeX definitions. However, emacs is exceptionally %>flexible. %> What would happen to the following?
