[luatex] \mathchardef\foo=\mathcode`\x

changing anything in tex is incompatible with something, as we both know:-)

options wouldn't be good, I agree. Just lead to incompatible setups
and confusion.

as I said in the last message not necessarily flagging for exactly
that change (I've not had long to think about it really, I'm just
working down our test failures and analysing the results) but wanted
to flag the issue and post the macro workaround, so that it could be
discussed (or at least known about:-)
