Why use multline, rather than what you get when you just press C-Enter? (Or perhaps the question should be why don't we get multline?)
how should LyX know what kind of equation the user wants, when he inserts C-Enter??
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?
historical reason
For instance, is eqnarray the most frequently used environment?
no, should be align, better spacing. But then you _must_ use amsmath. The way in LyX should be: C-Enter -> amsmath button enabled? yes -> align no -> eqnarray
Or is it related to that you by default get an 'equation' math environment when you do C-m or S-C-m?
also historical reason
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?
some users use \vphantom others prefer the static \bigg \Bigg ...
There are a lot of other things which should be fixed and/or implemented than \vphantom.
