True, though < is much more often used for overlay specifications in  
beamer than for inequalities, at least in my experience.
The other option is to have a snippet bound on ctrl-shift-<, that  
would simply insert a "<$1>". So we are losing automatic deletion of  
pairs (though undo would do the trick in most cases) and the ability  
to surround selected text with <,>. I find that, because of the  
typically short text in the overlay specification, it might not be  
worth it considering the angle brackets as a smart pair in beamer.  
Would the above snippet be a reasonable solution?

Also, if you use the "Insert Environment/Command" mechanism, it  
should be inserting the overlay specifications for you. Is that not  
the case? If you use custom commands, then you can add them to the  
mechanism as local preferences.
