Here's a negative space hack that gives extensible brackets: write \Sem{expr} to wrap an expression. (Doubtless someone who knows TeX could do better.)
Ah! Neat. [One wishes that TeX could consider arbitrary code to be delimiter definitions, in the sense of \left, \right, \biggl, etc., though.] While we are on the subject of doubling up delimiters, what are good ways to typeset double angle brackets "<< ... >>"?
