Hi Max,

Isn’t the point of discussing depreciation now that we’d change the manual etc.
to discourage it? 😛
FWIW, I have an extra 2c to add: I think that there’s a danger in having $…$
/almost/ behave like LaTeX, as the closer it is the more surprising the edge cases
are, and due to the nature of Org there will /always/ be a collection of edge
cases with $…$. By comparison, \(…\) has much less ’surprising’ behaviour.

Tim, as mentioned before I’m strongly in favour of a ~half decade transition
including utility functions to shift existing TeX constructs to LaTeX, and
adding warnings, well before dropping support.
All the best,
Timothy
