Dear Christina:

You are right, it works. However, imagine a L.O. Math user who needs to write
the reasoning behind the process of finding the solution of an equation that
contains fractions. The workaround you suggest will work, but (in my opinion)
it's something excessively complicated for such a simple . For example, in
order to obtain the equation displayed in the screenshot I attach
(EquationwithFractions.png), you must type the following lines:

matrix
{
alignr{2 + x} # "" = "" # alignl{{alignc{1} over {x + 1}} - {alignc{2}
over{3-x}} + {alignc{1} over {x-2}}}
##
alignr{2+x} # "" = "" # alignl{"more_fractions"}
}

Despite the fact this is only a basic equation, the code is 'a little bit' hard
to type, read, understand, and edit. I think fractions (their numerators and
denominators)should be always aligned to the center except, maybe, a very
specific command is introduced.
