+\subsection{\pkg{array}: Correctly identify single-line m-cells}
+
+Cells in m-columns that only contain a single line are supposed to
+behave like single-line p-cells and align at the same baseline. To
+test for the condition, \pkg{array} used to compare the height of the cell to
+the height of the strut used for the table rows. However, the height of that
+strut depends on the setting of \cs{arraystretch} and if you made this
+negative (or very large) the test came out wrong.  Therefore, we now
+test against the height of a normal strut to ensure that single-line
+cells are correctly identified as such (unless their content is truly very
+tall, in which case aligning is pointless anyway).
