Argspec d<(,)><[,]><{,}> — one optional argument. In physics. Reading argspecs

\det A

\det_{1\le i,j\le n}(a_{ij})

\det\frac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial(u,v)}

\det(A)

base

Package	Signature	Allowed mode	Notes
`base`		math	Used for the determinant of a matrix
`physics`	`d<(,)><[,]><{,}>`	math	Used for determinant notation, often as \det A or \det(A) in linear-algebra expressions.

TeXForm parses this entry as prefix syntax; the package determines its argument specification.

Expand the physics auto-sized argument of exp, det, and Pr into an explicit fence.
