contribution:

&gt; Name of contribution: savesym
&gt; Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/savesym
&gt; Summary description: saves and restores symbols
&gt; License type: LaTeX Project
&gt;
&gt; Announcement text:
&gt; ----------------------------------------------------------------------
&gt; There are a number of symbols (e.g., \Square) that are defined by multiple packages.  In order to typeset all the
&gt; variants in a document, we have to give glyph a unique
&gt; name.  To do that, we define \savesymbol{XXX}, which renames a symbol from \XXX to \origXXX, and
&gt; \restoresymbols{yyy}{XXX}, which renames \origXXX back to
&gt; \XXX and defines a new command, \yyyXXX, which corresponds
&gt; to the most recently loaded version of \XXX.
