currently yes ... i hate to introduce all kind of extra tests for what
value is given and by permitting \commands we also become less robust
keep in mind that one can clone
\definemathfence [fancybracket] [bracket] [command=yes,color=red]
so if there is a properly named base set (i tend to clean expressive
verbose names, at least as base commands instead of all the weird ones
that showed up over time (along with entities with slightly different
names) ... clean math as start and we can always add dirty math as
instances
