(1) While \alpha correctly converts to α, it's not the case that $\alpha$ converts to α nor even $α$.
(2) It would also be cool to go in the reverse direction too: that is to go from α to $\alpha$in the code (giving you a way to preview latex files within vim by going back and forth between $\alpha$ and α).
Overall fixing (1) would be much more useful (at least to me) than (2) :)
