Once Joris told me that sometimes the size is not correctly guessed so
that manual fine-tuning is needed. The point is which usage is
statistically dominant, and that depends on the resizing algorithm. If
Joris is comfident that in say more than 60% of cases parentheses are
adequately resized, I would second that resizable-by-default proposal
(with the option to enter fixed-size delimiters, of course).
