This is also a good example of why making even small changes to documentation is fraught with difficulty. I suspect that such discussions could be had about many "minor improvements".

Now that's a really bad idea in my book... The "ex" in "cex" is *ex*actly for *ex*pansion, also note the consistency with "mex".

Yup, but I think it is ?par that could use fixing. (The description of "mex" in there is a bit iffy as well. Why mix character sizes into something that really deals in interline distances?)

Obvious. In a bunch of other places too, I guess.
