Hello list,

I have a simple question:

Is there any reason not to use only one equation environment - the equation
array?

As I see it, the only difference between an equation and a one-line equation
array is the spacing around the "prominent" binary relation (the one
according to which alignment happens in eq. array with more lines). I Imagine
it would be possible to do the following:
1. IF there was only one line in an equation array, THEN the rendering would
be the same as if equation had been used.
2. ELSE use the standard equation-array rendering.

Am I missing something? I find it inconvenient to have two different eq.
environments. When writing an equation, I seldom know whether it will end up
being a one-line eq., or not (will it fit one line or not?). Therefore, I
mostly choose the eq. array environment, which is not spaced nicely if my
equation ends up fitting just one line (with more binary relations).

Any thought on this?

Cheers,
Peter.
