Hmm, I must admit, yes.
But note that it was not the first time we got questions about this icon.

Yes this is probably the best solution.

No, because we should guide the user. We cannot expect that normal LyXers read the TeXBook to find
out the differences.

Better use the commands \cfrac, \tfrac, etc. in this case.

But this is not the intention of these commands, they are there to change the style (size and
spacings) of whole math constructs and not only parts of it. Therefore there are commands like
\cfrac and \nolimits.
Herbert, what is your interpretion of this issue?
