There are some as well in `numeric.cpp' at lines 386 & 387, `mul.cpp'
lines 184 & 231, `power.cpp' lines 185 & 201, and `pseries.cpp' lines
159 & 160.  I just had a quick look so I may have missed something but
I basically don't understand why they are there (no problem with \frac
or other TeX operators it seems and I don't get the point about not
breaking lines since formulae easily become quite long).  Maybe the
one who wrote that part of the code could tell us what was his reason?
