(stackengine package) in which the argument is set in math mode
on equally spaced lines set about the math axis. The brace is
produced by the scalerel package, and is merely a width-limited
vertical scale of a glyph, in this case the left brace {.
Vertical height of brace matches target stack: \[ f(x)
