Nabla symbol "∇" read as "Gradient of" in inappropriate contexts #288

In calculus and physics, the Nabla symbol "∇" by itself represents the gradient of a function, but if it is followed by a "⋅" or "×" symbol it instead represents the divergence or curl of that function respectively. Currently, the sequence "∇⋅f" is read as "(the) gradient of dot eff"; ideally, it would instead be read as "(the) divergence of eff" or "div eff", but it would also be understandable as "del dot eff" or "nabla dot eff". Would it be possible to change the pronunciation of this symbol, either by default or using a togglable setting similar to MultSymbolDot?
