Curly braces too curly in math mode #152

Have you considerd using the begin{cases} command?

\[
1+(-1)^n=
\begin{cases}
0, & \text{if $n$ odd}\\
2, & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
\]

The result is the following:

@JoostScheffer This repo is for SATySFi, not LaTeX. SATySFi is completely different from LaTeX (even from TeX), and is statically typed functional type-setting system. Slightly detailed explanation of the project is described at the README [1].

I wonder how JoostScheffer found this issue without knowing about SATySFi...
