well, how should math (or whatever) know what comes after it ...
I wasn't looking for a completly automatic solution. Only something
that lets me retrieve the correct kern and insert it (or suppress it
if needed)
these things are always tricky and e.g. math-text boundaries can be
obscured by for instance boxing and so ... sometimes lua offers a way
out but even then there are limits
only when it binds with a character

maybe inserting a zerowidthjoiner character helps
$ .... \Uchar"200D$
Looks good. And for the record: \strut works the other way round and
suppress the kern.
Yes, because a zwj is a real character and can be used to fool the mechanism
Btw: I found in the luatex manuel the options
\mathoption nocharitalic 1
but it seems to do nothing (the example in the manual show imho
identical output).
these flags are just for testing (the mathoption ones will go away
eventually which is why we use \mathoption) .. there are other
\math*mode etc parameters
It would be good to mention this in the manual. It is rather
confusing to see examples that claim to show the effect of some
setting and then do nothing.
actually there can be an effect but one that is effectively zero: it can
be that a italic kern is injected and then removed as in traditional ...
these effects really depend on the font and character properties
(in a similar fashion an example exposing some property and
demonstrating some trick can fail when a font gets updated)
