Hi David,

1. I hadn’t seen his solution. I agree, it’s wonderful.

2. Perhaps I should have said “especially when David * is on the case”.  =)

3. Regardless, your solution was ingenious and helpful, as always.

If I understand it correctly,

  \center-in-line “foo” = \fill-line { “” “foo” “” }

If so, I agree this would be a wonderful addition to the toolbox.

I’m hoping (see my other email) that there might be a way to turn his solution 
into an \offset-like function for explict system positioning. That would be 
useful (though perhaps not as *generally* useful as something like 
\align-in-line).

Thanks,
Kieren.
