Actually, your suggestion is very nice IMHO. Something for the
Wiki...

Patches welcome.

Why do you need \R? It's `eqn' which interprets $foobar$ -- why can't it
be translated to
.nr eqn-font \n[.f]
.nr eqn-size \n[.s]
foobar
.ft \n[eqn-font]
.ps \n[eqn-size]u
It can also check the whitespace before and after the inline equation
to insert `\c' where appropriate.

Perhaps compatibility reasons with traditional eqn?
