Note that "math_number" is also misleading: the variable determines the
*placement* of the equation number (left/default/right).
Especially in connection with "math", the term "number" implies something
quite different from a layout setting.
I suggest naming buffer setting and variable "equation_number_position".
(I can also (reluctantly) agree to "formula_number_position", but
"math_number" is too vague --- there are numbers anywhere in mathematics..)
Therefore, I'd ask Uwe to
