I believe that CDlatex mode does everything that x-symbol did and much
more in fact.
for the sugar, I don't know what to suggest for direct latex/tex code
but I can recommend you use org-mode for composing your text instead
and export to latex when required... org-mode provides the display
sugar you wish (and much more).
