Yes, because the latex->lyx translator that ships with lyx 1.3.x, reLyX, is written in perl and none of the current lyx developers either understand it or want to enhance it. LyX 1.4 will ship with a totally new translator, tex2lyx, that is written in C++, is far more robust, far more powerful and has a chance of being mainatined since we can follow what's going on. It also handles your particular question out of the box. -- Angus
