I don't think it would--I would keep `prettify-symbols-mode' strict. I
think Ken needs a different mode that's yet to be written:
`prettify-regex-mode'?

"delta_x" is an entirely different thing from "delta" in all the
programming languages I can think of, so I would not expect to see δ_x
all over the code just because I want to prettify deltas themselves. If
anything, it would make finding the real standalone deltas harder.
