I spy...

I would suggest that one would set (inline) math spacing and other
options (like \mathscriptsmode) globally for a document, as it would not
be very good style to mix and match.

However, I can see situations where one might want to tighten spacing
in order to fit a particular expression within a line or in a table,
for example. Here, \math[options]{expression} is a reasonable syntax,
yet I cannot foresee ever using the very cryptic \m{} for any reason:
it is just plain ugly! (No TeXie would ever find $<expression>$ as
ugly...)
