Description

Would be nice if punctuation (esp +, -, *) was lowered for old style figures as they are for lower case letters.

Not sure if possible, but could be cool if it'd work with spaces surrounding the operator... don't think it'd be a good idea for letters ofc, but might work for strings matching /([0-9] [+*-] [0-9])/?

Determine whether context-aware handling for operators surrounded by spaces is feasible, while excluding letters. Done means the punctuation is lowered appropriately without changing ordinary letter forms.
