At least prevents the error but alignment is weird. Some pseudo
typesetting is going on and the quality is suboptimal then (after all mp
just pastes glyphs then). Take this:
Class.A ("Point") ("+x: int", "+y: int") ();
It's probably no big deal for the author to support pictures instead of
strings
Class.A ("Point") (btex +x: int etex, "+y: int") ();
Class.A ("Point") (textext("+x: int"), "+y: int") ();
It's probabaly already possible somehow but i have no time to look into
the code in detail now.
