+perfectcut.sty --- Nested delimiters that consistently grow regardless
+of the contents.
This package defines the command \perfectcut#1#2 which displays a
-bracket <#1||#2>. Its effect is to determine the size of the bracket
-depending on the number of nested \perfectcut (regardless of the
-contents). It is intended for use:
-- In proof theory, for term notations of sequent calculus,
-- In computer science, for the modeling of abstract machines.
+bracket <#1||#2>. Various delimiters are similarly defined. The effect
+of these commands is to let the delimiters grow according to the number
+of nested \perfectcommands (regardless of the size of the contents).
-This package also offers a reimplementation of \big, \bigg, etc. into
-arbitrary-size variants.
+The package is originally intended for solving a notational issue
+regarding the representation of abstract-machine-like calculi in proof
+theory and computer science. For general use, the package also defines
+commands for defining custom delimiters that behave in the same way.
+
+This package also offers a sound reimplementation of \big, \bigg, etc.

+As we can see, the legibility of the above rendering is hampered by
+multiple issues: the delimiters grow inconsistently, vertical bars
+have the wrong size, accents or underlines uselessly make the delimiters
+grow, and the spacing could be improved. The package is designed to
+fix these issues.
+
+
+\section{Advanced use}
+
+The package lets you define your own growing delimiters. Let us first
+stress that the size of these delimiters is entirely determined by
+the number of nestings and is insensitive to the size of the contents.
+If you need the size of the contents to be taken into account then
+it is probably sufficient to use \texttt{\textbackslash{}left} and
+\texttt{\textbackslash{}right} while tweaking \texttt{\textbackslash{}delimitershortfall}
+and \texttt{\textbackslash{}delimiterfactor}.
+
+
+\subsection{Example}
+
+The following displays a set $\{\#1\mid\#2\}$ with delimiters appropriately
+sized if there are other \texttt{\textbackslash{}perfectcommands}
+inside \texttt{\#1} and \texttt{\#2}.\medskip{}

+\def\Set#1#2{\perfectbinary{IncreaseHeight}\{|\}{#1\mathrel{}}{\mathrel{}#2}}

+\[

+\]

+
+
+\subsection{Custom delimiters}

+\item [{\texttt{\textbackslash{}perfectunary\#1\#2\#3\#4}}] Displays \texttt{\#2}
+\texttt{\#4} \texttt{\#3} where \texttt{\#2} and \texttt{\#3} are
+delimiters. The delimiters grow according to \texttt{\#1} which must
+be one of \texttt{IncreaseHeight}, \texttt{CurrentHeight}, or \texttt{CurrentHeightPlusOne}.
