[luatex] incompatible change to mathcode

[Keith J. Schultz]

Hi All,

Let me get this straight:
	7161 is a hex in highst bit first
	Then we have a 16 bit value
then 
	7161(hex) =  0111 0001 0110 0001 = 2^14 +  2^13 + 2^12 + 2^8 + 2^6 + 2^5 + 1 = 29024

Now I will admit that I know nothing about the syntax of \luatexUmathcode but I find it very
dangerous to mix bit ordering!!

That is as seen below  71, 1 is the higher digit. where 61 is in standard ordering!

What furthermore irks me is that we have below a 24-bit encoding where LuaTex just has
21-bit character argument.

So it seems evident to me that somebody has goofed big time with their math.  
Yet, it is no wonder with this kind of wierd math/encoding!

regards
	Keith
