One of the problems with automatically formatting in the Right Way is
that the way to explain an equation might depend on what you want to say
with this equation. For example: Does the problem you work on better
match x^2+2*x+2 or (x+1)^2+1? Or x(x+2)+2?

As soon as you work on more complex examples there might be even more
options that make more sense than that...
