Partially supported in Amiri, but I don’t like the design (I have some old mathematics books with nicer designs, that I long intended to use as source). Once done will be imported to XITS.

The two Arabic operators still missing, but mainly because I still need to think how stretching those two can be handled in MATH table (they a bit trickier than other operators, since text should be centred relative to the stretching part only), and it seems the Arabic limit operator is missing from Unicode (only the Persian one is encoded, I’ll ask the relevant people).

However I’m not still happy about the designed, and I intend redesign the whole set later.
