Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a CS student studying type theory, while the Mathjax supports the bussproofs package, it currently lacks support for the so-called "flag-pole" style proof which is quite common in theoretical computer science.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would request Mathjax to add support for the flagderiv package (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/flagderiv?lang=en).

Research direction

Start by reading MathJax's existing bussproofs support and the flagderiv package specification linked in the issue on CTAN. Identify the flag-pole proof features that need to be supported, then verify that representative flagderiv input renders correctly in MathJax.
