Re: texinfo.tex: accents in math mode

[Karl Berry]

    I hoped it would be possible to make texinfo.tex interpret accents as
    math accents in math mode

It's hard for me to imagine how to make a pre-accented 8-bit character
into a math accent, though I suppose anything could be done with enough work.
Does it even work that way in LaTeX?

Making something like @^x give you a math accent inside @math and a text
accent outside math seems possible; in fact, my guess (without trying
the experiment) is that it already does.
