I already noted that. I appreciate the movement to a more uniform
\start…\stop syntax.
Just a random thought: Would it be possible or even make sense to
uniform the syntax even further and maybe merge the functionality
into \startalignment? At the moment we have one command with an
argument for alignments:
\startalignment [right|middle|left]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
however three different command for boxed alignments (furthermore,
\startrightaligned works just the opposite of \startalignment[right]):
\startrightaligned
FooBar
\stoprightaligned
\startmidaligned
FooBar
\stopmidaligned
\startleftaligned
FooBar
\stopleftaligned
This might be easy to remember for us who still know the
\midaligned{} syntax, but I guess for new users it's confusing.
Additionally, the difference between the commands is unclear. What
about an interface like this:
\startlinealignment [right|middle|left]
FooBar
\stoplinealignment
Taking this one step further would be to merge both into one
command:
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=???]
\input knuth
\stopalignment
\startalignment [align=left, alternative=!!!]
FooBar
\stopalignment
