Thank you, Wolfgang, for that explanation of what is being done.
Can you explain why this is done? It would seem, given the name of the
command, that the delimiter is more important than the styling, and so I
suspect that there is some historical reason that this behavior was
chosen. Styling can be done within the text, as can delimiters, but the
benefit of the command is that it should be able to manage multiple
levels automatically.
