I think I've already indicated my enthusiastic support for this change, but
let me do it again! In /The TeXbook/ Donald Knuth writes that the markup for
display math mode allows "your manuscript to mirror what you are trying to
accomplish." I write all my manuscripts in org-mode these days, in large
part because the mark-up is lighter-weight than it is for LaTeX, but at
present the preferred markup for display equations does *not* really allow
one to make the manuscript mirror what one is trying to do.
Enthusiastic thanks and support for this patch!
