But isn't what Org calls LaTeX math pretty equivalent to what would
count as the same in a LaTeX buffer? From a quick scan of texmathp.el, I
couldn't actually see a hard-dependency on a TeX-derived mode at all. I
wouldn't really care about this so much, but the fact that the Org
variant just misreports the position is a bit unfortunate, in my
opinion.
