It turns out that these "blackboard letters" fall under the nemeth rule for
bold typeface after all. We just didn't have that name for them.

Thanks to Susan for pointing out the use of these weird symbols. We sure
don't want to develop notations for things that are used only on
blackboards! I agree with John Boyer that these should just be bold
letters. Presumably one could have double struck lower case letters being
used to represent lower case bold letters as well as this instance where it
is a capital letter.

Here is a private message from Susan Jolly which contains a link to an
interesting article. In view of this, it would seem better to use the bold
typeform for the double-struck capital C. If I remember right, this would be
456-6-14. Vectors should be represented by small bold letters, for example,
456-136 and 456-1236.

Hi John,
I thought you might find this article on the origin of double struck letters
interesting.

My inclination would be to use the Nemeth bold capital letters rather than
the script capital letters to distinguish these symbols.
