This opinion can indeed be defended, but it is not the current
typographical tradition.

This approach is not really confortable, because you do not always need
a subscript, a superscript, or a "d". A better approach which I intend
to implement since a while already (please put it on the wish list),
is to provide a "\big." operator which closes a big operator in a similar
way as "\right." may close a big delimiter. Such a construct is sufficient
to recover the complete mathematical semantics (I will write a paper
about this and other related stuff when I will have time).
