What if I want a vertically centered column of arguments? Then, rather  
than just using \center-align, I have to use \column and \hcenter. I  
think keeping its behavior the same, but renaming it to center-column  
make the most sense. And I think keeping \hcenter makes sense, it's  
still a unique function, and it may be useful.

Sounds good.

clear as pepsi.
