Dot-less i' and j'

[cspiel]

This is "just for the record". We have to be careful when using the
dot-less 'i' and the dot-less 'j'.

This example exhibits most of the quirks.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
Dot-less (mathematical) ``$i$'' and ``$j$'':
\[
  \imath, \jmath; \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath}; \hat{\imath}, \hat{\jmath}; \bar{\imath}, \bar{\jmath};
\]

\begin{itemize}
\item ``i''
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Accented ``i'': \^i, \'i, \`i;
    same in italics -- \textit{``i'': \^i, \'i, \`i};
  \item Accented dot-less ``\i'': \^{\i}, \'{\i}, \`{\i};
    same in italics -- \textit{``\i'': \^{\i}, \'{\i}, \`{\i}};
  \item Accented dot-less, math mode ``$\imath$'': $\vec{\imath}$,
    $\hat{\imath}$, and $\bar{\imath}$;
  \end{itemize}

\item ``j''
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Accented ``j'': \^j, \'j, \`j;
    same in italics -- \textit{``j'': \^j, \'j, \`j};
  \item Accented dot-less ``\j'': \^{\j}, \'{\j}, \`{\j};
    same in italics -- \textit{``\j'': \^{\j}, \'{\j}, \`{\j}};
  \item Accented dot-less, math mode ``$\jmath$'': $\vec{\jmath}$,
    $\hat{\jmath}$, and $\bar{\jmath}$;
  \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}

Please compare with the LaTeX rendering for the reference translation.

Hi, your example is now handled correctly. Thanks for the report.

THX for fixing the problem so fast. Your patch is OMG-large!

After pulling the change, $\imath$, $\jmath$ and their
decorated variants are typeset in roman style, not italics as
TeX uses for any math. On the other hand the "same in
italics" sections of the example are correctly rendered as
italics.
