Do you mean upper case sigma Tim [1]?
We have it already, but probably it's too strongly related to 'sum' or 
'statistics'.
What about
- lowercase epsilon [2],
- f()
- integral sign? which in fact is sort of sum :), but looks more 
"scientific"

According to some design rules, one should avoid using letters where 
possible.
