Why bother with variants? Anyone who uses, say, printed and script
pi (rho, phi, beta, theta, kappa, epsilon, whatever) in the same text
deserves the confusion that will inevitably result, whether the
variants are available to him or not.

Also, final sigma is never used in math. Nor are digamma, koppa,
sampi, &c, unless you're preparing mathematical texts that use
ancient Greek numeration.
