In the mathsets module, I assumed that a valid math delimiter is used as the value for left, right, and middle keys. In that case, no extra test it needed.
keep in mind that one can clone

so if there is a properly named base set (i tend to clean expressive verbose names, at least as base commands instead of all the weird ones that showed up over time (along with entities with slightly different names) ... clean math as start and we can always add dirty math as instances
Agreed. Unmatched brackets are not so common, so this the default set is a reasonable starting point. Aditya
