In texmath.c we have in various places

eq_box = hpack(..., ..., ..., -1);
the -1 means no explicit direction is passed to the box construction,
so hpack is using the current value of \textdirection. Shouldn't \mathdirection 
(math_direction_par) be used here?

This is also inconsistent with inline math, where \textdirection does not 
influence
the visual result.

Example:
--------------------------
test

$$
a+b=c\textdirection=1
$$

$\textdirection=1 a+b=c$
\bye--------------------------

This is similar to the recent discussion about \vcenter, which also does not use
an explicit direction in its construction (there vpack use \bodydirection and 
not \mathdirection).
