LaTeX (with default font setup) doesn't stretch these symbols, it just
has a larger size for display mode.(Integral sometimes looks better if
stretched, but sum usually not, I think) Integral you can stretch by
moving to an upright shape and inserting straight bits, as you'd stretch
a bracket, but summation you'd just presumably have to optically scale
the whole glyph which will make it look fairly horrible if the
expression gets large.
