Fellow groffers, what do you think of generalizing the application
of "mark" and "lineup" in eqn to work in columns and piles as
well as in equations.
The typical use of mark and lineup is to align = signs in
a sequence of equations. If the = signs signify steps of
Ted, more precise English might be ...
... a sequence of equations. If the = signs signify steps THEREOF
... a sequence of equations. If the = signs signify steps IN THE SEQUENCE
Without knowing anything about the amount of work to implement this, I
think the the alignment of columns and piles would greatly enhance the
readability of (say) the explanation of the contents of matrices.
