While I agree that \(·\) is the preferred and Rightᵀᴹ delimiter pair I
almost always use $·$ in place if I can get away with it. Thus, if
the maintenance cost is low I would prefer if it stayed.
Using the patch posted by Nicolas last week (i.e. (re)introducing
org-highlight-latex-and-special) there's even visual feedback as to
when Org will correctly identify $·$.
/If/ a mechanism existed to easily use \(·\) I would be all for
ditching $·$ as it clearly inferior (legacy documents can quickly be
fixed via a regexp replacement, if needed). For instance, in ESS
there is ess-smart-underscore where, depending on the context,
pressing "_" will usually do the right thing. For Instance $ could
insert \(·\) or $ first (depending on the variable
org-export-care-about-usd). On region it would always put it inside
\(·\). But it might be messy, I'm not really sure.
