The whole thing started because of 'breqn' inability to split
long output. And that I find unacceptable. Namely, there
is general problem of splitting output of TeX format. FriCAS
should allow getting as long output as the user wishes.
So instead of talking how long output is proper in a tutorial
we should rather talk about how to split long TeX output.
