+\METAPOST\ are not trivial, especially because expression scanning can be

+Sometimes you might want to act upon the size of a delimiter, something that is
+not really possible because of the fact that they are calculated {\em after} most
+has been typeset already. In the following example the all|-|zero specification
+is the trigger to make a fake box with the last delimiter dimensions and shift.
+It's an ugly hack but its relative simple and not intrusive implementation has no
+side effects. Any other heuristic solution would not satisfy possible demands
+anyway. Here is a rather low level example:

+
+The last line, by passing zero values, results in a fake operator that has the
+dimensions of the previous delimiter. We can then backtrack over the (presumed)
+width and the two numbers become limit operators. As said, it's not pretty but it
+works.
