Yes, confirmed regarding \newcommand, however

- C-cC-n loses againt the fontification

- the B line still does not behave as expected, it should apply math styling,
but the subscripts are still on the baseline

No urgency here... I got the feeling my real-life files are ok so, from my
egotistical point of view the matter reached a satisfactory state for me,
the fate of the rest of the world does not interest me extraordinarily,
especially in those days where one has trashed with the approval
of the majority all basic principles
of defence and preservation of liberties, paving the road for very
grave evolutions awaiting us.
