 I want to be albe to say

 \startformula
   \startmatrix[align={right,left}]
\NC x \NC = a + d \NR
\NC y \NC = d \NR
   \stopmatrix
 \stopformula

 to give me
   x = a + d
   y = d

 This is a contrived example. The actual equation that I want to type is

 \startformula
\text{Let }{\cal R} = \bigcup_{P_{X_1},P_{X_2}} \left\{
(R_1, R_2) :
\startmatrix[distance=0.1em]
  \NC \hfill R_1   \NC  I(X_1 ; Y \mid X_2) \hfill \NR
  \NC \hfill R_2   \NC  I(X_2 ; Y \mid X_1) \hfill \NR
  \NC \hfill R_1 + R_2 \NC  I(X_1,X_2 ; Y) \hfill  \NR
\stopmatrix\right\}
 \stopformula

 All these manual hfills look ugly.

 Is matrix the wrong way to go about this? Should we rather have a 
 aligned environment like amsmath? Or is there a simple alternative 
 that I have overlooked?


 Thanks
