In a nutshell, I propose that ", /, = and ~ be assigned to the syntax class "paired delimiter", which is $. (This would allow electric-pair-mode to work with them.)
The definition of org-mode as a derived mode contains the following lines:
(modify-syntax-entry ?@ "w")
(modify-syntax-entry ?\" "\"")
(modify-syntax-entry ?\\ "_")
(modify-syntax-entry ?~ "_")
What is the rationale behind the choices for ~ and "? It feels to me like both should be assigned class "paired delimiters" (i.e., class $). I would also expect / and = to be paired delimiters, but maybe I'm missing some subtlety.
(I guess * is a paired delimter in a sense, too (because it is used for bold), but since it is used for headings it would probably be too confusing to modify its syntax class.)

What about file:~/todo.org and \(a=b\)? I don't think we can assure ~,
/, and = are always paired. Also, what is wrong with " belonging to string
quote class?
