the reverse mapping is doable and on the agenda (normally i do such
things when i run into it in a project)

well, editors is another case as not all fonts used in editors have such
characters so your file becomes quite unportable unless the editor
implements some fallback mechanism
there's also a subscript font feature but often such features are
implemented incomplete in fonts (like frac) and quite unuseable unless
more logic in the engine is added (again, something that i will look
into when i have a reason)

it would be core functionality as it involved manupulating the internal
math node lists
