Discussion opened?

Ok: Character styles should be done by using something similar to
MathFontInsets. 

Advantages:
 * trivially to implement as almost everything is already there
   (mainly GUI is missing)
 * small code (currently about 150 lines in math_fontinset.C and
   math_factory.C, not much more to be done). 
 * allow proper nesting
 * consistency with mathed
 * slightly different UI (it is clear whether cursor is inset or outside)

Known disadvantages:
 * Line breaking in the parent paragraph.
 * slightly different UI (extra cursor left/right to enter inset)
