Summary description: LaTeX maths without backslashes

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The freemath package allows for the omission of backslashes from
most math mode commands. Specifically, any consecutive string of
at least two (Latin) letters appearing in math will automatically
be turned into the control sequence with the same name, if it exists.
The package provides the `\freemathon` and `\freemathoff` commands
which respectively activate and deactivate this behaviour.
It is disabled by default upon loading.

Regular commands initiated by a backslash may of course
still be used when freemath is active, and can furthermore
be freely mixed with backslash-free commands.

Example:
With freemath: `lim_{n to infty} int_Omega n log left( 1 + frac{f}{n} right) d mu`.
Without freemath: `\lim_{n \to \infty} \int_\Omega n \log\left( 1 + \frac{f}{n} ) d\mu`.
