Misplaced code

yes, i was implicitly T1, so \char0 is the grave accent--I always
thought that lonely accents should be good candidates for
boudarychars, but this is maybe short-minded (as some conventions put
accents on capital letters not over but beside the capital...) ?

BTW, the idea of using kerning with the space charachters from AFMs
that do declare them is a good one, be it implemented in a MTX or ETX
file!
