Thanks for the suggested improvements. The reason for which I like \gg to give me a boldface g is that I use \vv, \cc, \xx etc. as a shorthand for boldface letters of which I have many. It basically is a double hit on a keyboard and I find it very convenient. I didn't want to have an exception for g. I never had troubles with this, even when I sent my latex code to math journals.

@mvs Note that also \aa, \ll, \ss and \tt are defined. Redefining \aa and \ss might be troublesome as they're part of the LaTeX Internal Character Representation (LICR).
