Another case is the math symbols: Should the default sans-serif math font be 
changed to Noto Sans Math? STIX is a serif font, so it probably makes sense 
to keep as the serif math font (also considering that there is, at least at 
this time, no Noto Serif Math). For cases where the distinction matters, 
see, e.g., the summation sign (clearly visible serifs), the integral sign 
(dots at the ends that are a form of serifs), or the partial derivative sign 
(constant stroke thickness in Noto Sans Math vs. variable in STIX).
