If I understand this correctly, I'm kind of glad = (relieved!) to hear
this---just helped my wife w/ a project where I had = to get equations
and parts of equations to line up throughout a = chapter, and I finally
arrived at a pretty hairy set of equation = environments filled w/ boxes
of known sizes to make things work (and a set of = m-environments to
adjust for when there was a minus sign 'cause that's = wider than a
number :(

My inference from the above statement is that there = wouldn't've been a
nice, elegant solution to this, and that it's a good = thing that I
stopped looking for one and just whacked at things = until they fell into
place?
