OK, I've now committed most of this, with some additions to the
documentation. Remaining bits attached.
I am a bit confused as to why we have both \det and \dE. They seem
redundant. Shouldn't we rip one of those out? IMHO, \det should be
the one to go, as it could be useful to do, e.g. \dtvE, which isn't
going to work with the \det syntax.
