Many thanks for your answer, I appreciate it!
If you look at the example below (output attached), you see that the
version with \bigl and \bigr has a different size than the other ones.
So my question boils down to: Is it possible, by using fences, to have the
same size as the \big, \Big, \bigg etc would give?
If not, is it possible to implement? I think it would make the already very
nice fencing system even more usable. The reason is to be able to use this
instead of not using fences at all in the few cases where the size from the
fencing is not optimal.
