I think that we should have \calligraphic for text calligraphic fonts

\mathscript and \mathcal. I am not sure that we need another font switch
in math.
I know, that in mkii \calligraphic is available in math mode, but I did
not like that either. Since you are asking for my opinion, I think that
it should go :-). For backward compatibility, we can add appropriate
definition of \calligraphic to m-mkii module.
ok, just send me a patch then
While we are at this topic, I think that we should change the
definitions of \mathbf, \mathtf, etc from being a font switch to being a
grouped command (to be more in tune with ams convetions). So, in
math-ini.mkiv we can have
diff --git a/math-ini.mkiv b/math-ini.mkiv
index 17b0205..65bd43c 100644
--- a/math-ini.mkiv
+++ b/math-ini.mkiv

What do you think?
i have no problem with that ... so if no one comes up with good
arguments against it we can do that
