(4) -> (x+1)*(x+2)/(x+3) + 1/(y+4)
2 2
(x + 3x + 2)y + 4x + 13x + 11
(4) -------------------------------
(x + 3)y + 4x + 12
\begin{LaTeXMath}
\frac{{{{
\left(
{{x}^{2}}+{3\: x}+2
\right)
}\: y}+{4\: {{x}^{2}}}+{{13}\: x}+{11}}}{{{{
\left(
x+3
\right)
}\: y}+{4\: x}+{12}}}
\stepNumber{4}
\end{LaTeXMath}
$$
{{{\left( {{x} \sp {2}}+{3 \ x}+2
\right)}
\ y}+{4 \ {{x} \sp {2}}}+{{13} \ x}+{11}} \over {{{\left( x+3
\right)}
\ y}+{4 \ x}+{12}}
\leqno(4)
$$
The content of \frac{}{} is again with {}.
The extra braces around \left( and \right) are unnecessary, because it
is just multiplication following.
Then we have
{4\: {{x}^{2}}}
followed by a +. So this can actually just be "4\: {x}^{2}". Of course,
it depends on the context and for TeX itself, these extra braces don't
matter. But breqn seems to bother.

In a browser, I'd find a scrollbar that allows to scroll left/right
quite sufficient.
The solution, I have in mind, just would use Tree(String) or even
SExpression. Then group/ungroup could be easily handled. I think that
wouldn't be really hard. I just don't know whether I should go for Tree
or SExpression.
