Good day.

Impossibility to write commonly used formulas with root and fraction _in textual_ file looks poorly, archaically too.
But symbols 'root' and 'fraction' exist! Why nobody guess to interprete them as control symbol.
Let's agree to display expression "(a+b+c)\(d+e)" as

a+b+c
-----
d+e

and expression "a#(b+c)" (where # is mark of root) as

a ___
\/b+c

P.S.
At least, it's possible to add two new symbols with mentioned funtionality.
