Thanks for the pointer.

Given that there are 'exceptions' already I'd like to see that last
sentence extended to 'followed by whitespace, punctuation, a closing
parenthesis or a dash'.

Especially since the \(...\) notation is particularly hard to read when
enclosed in parentheses.  For example (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) as opposed to 
($\frac{1}{2}$)

But as I said earlier, this is a minor nuisance and I am happy to resort
to \(...\) whenever necessary.

Thanks,
Andreas
