If there is \ni, there should be also \ot  but there is not!

I am a very slow typer (albeit my kids claim that I am incredibly fast
for 1.5 fingers I use) but still thinking what to type takes me much
much longer than to type, and retype and retype again. I presume that
people who want brevity do not think what to type and belong to the
following classes (a) authors with limited manual capacity (b)
secretaries (c) obfuscators (d) bullshitters. :-) I suspect that each
subsequent class is much larger than the previous one
