1. I hadn’t seen his solution. I agree, it’s wonderful.
2. Perhaps I should have said “especially when David * is on the case”. =)
3. Regardless, your solution was ingenious and helpful, as always.

If I understand it correctly,
\center-in-line “foo” = \fill-line { “” “foo” “” }
If so, I agree this would be a wonderful addition to the toolbox.

I’m hoping (see my other email) that there might be a way to turn his solution
into an \offset-like function for explict system positioning. That would be
useful (though perhaps not as *generally* useful as something like
\align-in-line).
Thanks,
Kieren.
