Hello,

Great.

Of course, we will. Curly braces are not ambiguous so I'm no suggesting
to change this part of the syntax (even though it would be best to parse
them with an appropriate syntax table rather than a regexp).

OTOH, while we're at it, I wonder if we should keep grouping with
parenthesis. I guess that if you want to use parenthesis, you're going
to need math mode anyway, so there's no real need to make it easy to
type, e.g. :

  x^(2-i)

which will become x$^\text{(2-i)}$ anyway.

What do you think?


Regards,
