I'm wondering if there is a special reason why 'eqnarray' is the math
environment you get by default the first time you press C-Enter?
For instance, is eqnarray the most frequently used environment?
Or is it related to that you by default get an 'equation' math environment
when you do C-m or S-C-m?

Ok, but if this is what we should use to increase the size of brackets,
do you think it would be a good idea to add a menu entry for it? E.g.
Insert->Math->vphantom
Or possibly add a button in the Delimiters-dialog that inserts a
vphantom-inset?
