right, this is what one really would want with such type of commands, but we
all well know, do going within the limits of the TeX parser (and for xparse I
think the TeX parser is a given).

My question was more is there any other command within the 2e world where
people have applied the amsmath redefinition for looking for an optional
argument (ie without gobbling spaces).
