I was just looking over some TeX stuff I have done and noticed
that, to my eyes, such constructs as {\em which appear at angles
between $\theta$ and $\theta + d\theta$} look very odd because
the "+" signs come out Roman (unslanted). I tried changing them
to slanted ones ($\theta$ {\it +} $\theta$) and to my eyes it looks
more normal. What do the cognoscenti out there think of this?
