inline math and paragraph leading don't get along

[wicked hedge]

Inline math that descends below the baseline can collide with text below it. The example below shows a collision between two chunks of inline math. Weirdly, in this example, setting the paragraph leading to 0em actually improves the spacing from whatever the default is. The collision gets worse as the leading is increased up to about 0.5em and then begins to improve. By contrast, TeX knows about inline math and other descenders going below baseline and will adjust the interline skip to avoid collision.

This was one of the things we just didn't have the time to do properly as we really wanted to get the update out. It's hacked together such that it doesn't produce super widely spaced lines in the common case, but a real solution will come later.

Ok! It's nice to see inline math mode become a thing, by the way. Is there a way to force displaystyle math while inline and vice-versa? This is independent of whether the math is displayed as a block or not.
