Add \underline to mathtext? #14235
Description
Feature request
\underline is a valid LaTeX command but is not available in mathtext as documented here https://matplotlib.org/users/mathtext.html#mathtext-tutorial. My guess is that this is not common in math formulas but I have a user that does have a need for it in their formulas. I realize I can do plt.rc('text', usetex=True) to pass off the entirety of LaTeX rendering but it would be nice to have this available within matplotlib. Any arguments for/against?

The other text options (italic, bold, etc) are handled by selecting the correct glyphs from the font file so the implementation would be a bit different.
It looks like we already have support for
\overline, suspect the implementation would be that, but upside down?Any interest in taking a crack at this @ewohnlich ?

Bumping this issue since it has been awhile. This feature is still very much wanted.

I've re-opened #15624 which implements this. Thanks!
