Missing Latin superscript lowercase letters

[Asmus Freytag]

The example given, from a typeset mathematical formula, is inadmissible.

I mathematical typesetting what is superscripted is not the individual 
letter, but the expression. In principle, the superscripted expression 
is arbitrarily complex and thus the superscript is fully recursive.

This is precisely the kind of situation where hardcoding anything is not 
helpful.
