“delimset is a LaTeX2ε package to typeset and declare sets of delimiters in math mode whose size can be adjusted conveniently.”

• It allows to use, e.g., \brk*{…} instead of \left(…\right) -- note the *
• It can also be used without automatic resizing, e.g., \brk{…} means (…) and \brk[c]{…} means \{…\}
• You can define your own commands, e.g., \newcommand{\ceil}{\delim\lceil\rceil} can then be used like \brk:
  • \ceil{…} uses the normal size
  • \ceil*{…} uses automatic size
  • \ceil!{…} uses \big as a size modifier (2, 3, and 4 instead of ! uses \Big, \bigg, and \Bigg)
• Can also be used, e.g., for sets \set and conditional sets \setcond
