If you define a math-macro, you can separately define the LaTeX command and
the look-in-lyx. Unfortunately,
* you can't define a math-macro in a module,
* you can't define a preamble command in a LyX file.
This is why I have a file full of math macros which I include in all my
math-heavy publications. Instead of the preamble command \MathOperator, I use
e.g. \operatorname{sgn} as LaTeX command. View>Source shows this as
\global\long\def\sgn{\operatorname{sgn}}
\global\long\def\Re{\operatorname{Re}}
\global\long\def\Im{\operatorname{Im}}
