I would like to be able to specify a default LaTeX environment that display-mode equations should be interpreted as.

For example, I would like to be able to specify that any display-mode LaTeX be interpreted as `align` or `align*` environments. This reduces the amount of code I must write to have aligned equations.

For example, instead of writing:

```latex
\[
\begin{align}
\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} &= f(x, y, t) \\
&= e^{-i x y t}
\end{align}
\]
```

I would like to be able to write (along with an appropriate MathJax configuration):

```latex
\[
\frac{\partial x}{\partial t} &= f(x, y, t) \\
&= e^{-i x y t}
\]
```
