+``mathtext`` has more sizable delimiters
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``\lgroup`` and ``\rgroup`` sizable delimiters have been added.
+
+The following delimiter names have been supported earlier, but can now be sized with
+``\left`` and ``\right``:
+
+* ``\lbrace``, ``\rbrace``, ``\leftbrace``, and ``\rightbrace``
+* ``\lbrack`` and ``\rbrack``
+* ``\leftparen`` and ``\rightparen``
+
+There are really no obvious advantages in using these.
+Instead, they are are added for completeness.

      This used to be a vertical bar.

      Not sure I understand the comment. Yes, it was wrong and is now correct?
Or are you saying that people have used \leftbrace to get a vertical bar? (Which I think was wrong until recently...)
