This is really nice! Looking in my documents, I found something I did  
for a book about a year ago using matrix; as you can see below, it  
was a lot harder. Your rcases env. is really simple, elegant and  
easy! It does works as well with \[   \] instead of \begin 
{equation}   \end{equation}.

Best,
