I agree it lines things up right horizontally. What I complained
about is that (at least in -ms) a separate EQ-EN pair for each
line introduces extra vertical space, so the sequence does not
look like a coherent whole. The matrix trick gives a better
display, but sacrifices any connection with ordinary math
syntax. It makes no sense when read aloud.

with 'groff -mm', it does exactly what I think you want.
