[mizar] be and being



Hi:

I have been typing quite a lot in Mizar recently and the sheer length
of the tokens 'being' and 'be' sort of bothers me.  In addition, MML
has

	at least 10554 occurrences of "for ... be ..."
	at least  5146 occurrences of "consider ... be ..."
	at least   141 occurrences of "given ... be ..."
	at least   869 occurrences of "let ... being ..."

It is not particularly important but looks ugly.

Therefore I propose that both 'be' and 'being' have an alias ':'
which is shorter and commonly used in this context in everyday
writing, not to mention some other system that use it.

Cheers,
