Just to add my own interpretation of what this would look like: I
think Cyrille is worried that breaking one box into three will look
unnecessarily complicated to the user. However I think it will be the
opposite. Right now to the user it looks complicated. I don't think
the user will realize that there is a three box interpretation. It
would look natural (as opposed to the current situation of putting
everything in a box perhaps on a different line, even though in the
output it will be in-line).
