- OK... I quite like the idea so:
-
-
- == [X] ==================================
- | _ sminus _ : |P X x X -> |P X
- +----------------------------------------
- |forall S:|P X;t:X .
- | S sminus t = { x:X|x in S and x neq t}
-
- where sminus is typeset as, say, \heartsuit.
-
- There you go. Now \heartsuit is your set-minus operator.
- Happy?
