Question: problem generating latex for hbar.

Maple generates latex for hbar as  \mathit{hbar}  instead of just \hbar which makes it not render in PDF.  Here is an example

expr:= hbar*x;
latex(expr)

The screen display is correct. But not the latex. When compiling the above in Latex this is the output

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}

\begin{document}  

%Maple generated
\[
\mathit{hbar} x
\]

%default
\[
\hbar x
\]

%need amssymb for this
\[
\hslash x
\]
\end{document}

Compiling the above gives

So to use the standard hbar,  \mathit should not be used around it. 

ps. I like \hslash more myself than \hbar , so if there is a choice, will vote for \hslash for latex.
