Except for MATH-314 (which doesn't have a patch), these JIRA issues are 
largely implemented in [math] now.  It will probably have to be improved 
before a 2.1 release, but works well enough for now.

I'm sorry that you feel that [math] doesn't meet your needs.  However, I'm 
grateful to Jake for his contributions that have made [math] a better 
project.
