"sin" through "det" get a spacing type of "operator" applied to them,

The man page doesn't quite get around to documenting this, but it
appears that eqn tokens with type "operator" get a thin space placed to
their left.
Thanks.
I assume that thin space is the '^' token.
Also, you asked about the "medium_space" the other day. It's used with
tokens of the "binary" type, and that _is_ in the man page...albeit
nestled in the bewildering morass of TeX-derived tuning parameters.
medium_space This amount of space is automatically inserted
on either side of binary operators (22).
Thanks.
On the man page, is
>=
or
<=
a relation. They are in a mathematical sense , just list == and ~= but
not in src/preproc/eqn/lex.cpp
And what the man page calls a relation is a relational operator or a more
precisely a relational predicate but that is overly strict mathematically
for a man page.
