​Thank you, SJ; this was worked on by one of the VisualEditor GSoC students
this (North-hemisphere) Summer​, Jiabao, and it's great that we're getting
it into wider visibility.

Longer-term, we're planning a true visual editor for formulae, where you'd
be able to "drag-and-drop" formula elements like the integrand or a divider
into the formula, rather than write it in LaTeX.
