Knuths definition of , is mskipthinmuskip.



LaTeX changes this definition to



DeclareRobustCommand,%
relaxifmmodemskipthinmuskipelsethinspacefi

defthinspacekern .16667em


amsmath.sty says it's



DeclareRobustCommandtmspace[3]%
ifmmodemskip#1#2elsekern#1#3firelax
renewcommand,tmspace+thinmuskip.1667em


I might understand LaTeX's point to make a command usable also in text mode. But what's the point of the redefinition by amsmath?
