I propose the following. Upon cursor movement:
If the new cursor location is between mathtext character then enable
mathtext mode.
If the new cursor location is between non-mathtext thingies then disable
mathtext mode.
Otherwise: for <left> and <right> preserve current mathmode modality,
for the rest disable mathtext mode.
Above, "between X" also includes "at beginning of inset and before X"
and "at end of inset and after X".
Backspace should always preserve mathtext modality (both true and
false), as opposed to above and to current cvs.
BTW, I noticed that lately it's possible to enter digits, hiphens etc.
in mathtext -- that's a very good thing
