/* The TeXbook, p. 158:
 *
 * There are thirteen kinds of atoms, each of which might act
 * differently in a formula; for example, ‘(’ is an Open atom because
 * it comes from an opening. Here is a complete list of the different
 * kinds:

 * + Ord: an ordinary atom like ‘x’
 * + Op: a large operator atom like ‘\sum’
 * + Bin: a binary operation atom like ‘+’
 * + Rel: a relation atom like ‘=’
 * + Open: an opening atom like ‘(’
 * + Close: a closing atom like ‘)’
 * + Punct: a punctuation atom like ‘,’
 * + Inner: an inner atom like ‘\frac{1}{2}’
 * + Over: an overline atom like ‘\overline{x}’
 * + Under: an underline atom like ‘\underline{x}’
 * + Acc: an accented atom like ‘\hat{x}’
 * + Rad: a radical atom like ‘\sqrt{2}’
 * + Vcent: a vbox to be centered, produced by \vcenter.
 *
 * Over, Under, Acc, Rad and Vcent are not considered in the enum
 * below. The relvant elements will be considered as Ord.
