I will not be the one doing that. The reason is that texbreak is
computing the width of the boxes not with TeX-widths, but by some
assumptions. The good thing probably is that TeXFormat has the source
form of the expression while breqn.sty only gets the tex format and has
less information about the semantics of the expression.

If someone want's to put texbreak into TeXFormat, fine for me, but I
will not be that one, because I think that output for .tex should anyway
be small and not cover (waste) several printed pages. It's a task for
the author of such a tutorial to give the reader understanding of what
is happening instead of bombarding him/her with pages of output that
nobody is going to read or check by hand.
