actually we will hook into a new feature of luatex for specifying the
size of delimiters (so no vbox hack) .. factors are multipliers of
bodyfontsize
\definemathfence [MEAN] [angle] [command=yes, color=blue, factor=2.5]
\starttext
\startTEXpage \startformula
\MEAN[factor=1]{\sum_{i = 1}^n A_i x_i }
\hbox{ vs. }
\MEAN{ \sum_{i = 1}^n A_i x_i }
\hbox{ vs. }
\bigg\langle \sum_{i=1}^n A_i x_i \bigg\rangle
