I'm not sure I understand you correctly. There is no need
for mark and lineup in columns and piles, because they
already do the right thing. (?)

The typical use of mark and lineup is to align = signs in
a sequence of equations. If the = signs signify

Fellow groffers, what do you think of generalizing the application
of "mark" and "lineup" in eqn to work in columns and piles as
well as in equations.
The typical use of mark and lineup is to align = signs in
a sequence of equations. If the = signs signify steps of
