Bug in mkiv

Bug in mkiv

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi Hans and Taco,

Mkiv does not like \{ .. \} in the text input, it thinks that they should 
be in math mode. For example,

\starttext
I need \{ braces \}
\stoptext

gives

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
                 $
<to be read again>
                    \odelimiter
\lbrace ->\odelimiter
                       "4020066"030008
l.2 I need \{
               braces \}
?

Another one (perhaps bugs come in pairs)

∞(\infty in utf, incase it does not come out right in email) does not 
typeset. I think this used to work in earlier releases.

\starttext
I am infinity $∞$
\stoptext

The file compiles fine, but there is no ∞ symbol in the output.

we need to complete the tables in math-ini as well as char-def ... i 
occasionally add symbols but it's a tedious job

so, if you miss one, just send me a magic lines

I think that I finally understand what math-ini.lua does. I will add 
entries from math-tex.tex, so that atleast traditional tex symbols work. 
(It will be slightly slow, in a week or so).

good! keep track of anomalities, because we can use a 'wishlist' for the 
upcoming gyre math extensions and luatex math extensons
