Background:

It works sensibly in latex-mode.  If your text is

   My displayed \[equation\]
   is here

M-q will make it 

   My displayed \[equation\] is here

But 

   My displayed
   \[equation\]
   is here

Is unaltered by M-q (though it was not obvious to me how tex-mode.el
implemented this).

I didn't read the other thread is details, but it seems the most
sensible thing to do is alter the org fill function(s).  These seems
to rely on org-element, though, and I'm guessing that is why a syntax
change is necessary, yes?
