Hi,
do we need both definitions in math-fen.mkiv?
\installmathfencepair \lparen \Lparen \rparen \Rparen
\installmathfencepair \lparent \Lparent \rparent \Rparent
AFAIK \left\lparen should be the same as \left( but this doesn’t work
because there is
no defintion for \Lparen in math-fen.mkiv and char-def.lua contains only
a entry for "lparent".
so:
\let\lparen\lparent
\let\rparen\rparent
i think that they're there because some old time expectations but i have
no problem dropping them
Probably because some users coming from latex expected them. The mathtools
package defines \lparen and \rparen.
Personally, I find "(l|r)parent" to be an awkward name for the macros
because it is not clear what "parent" means. (l|r)parenthesis is a better
choice or, if a short name is needed, then (l|r)paren (so that it is clear
we are abbreviating the name).
