+1 on this idea from me.

I describe the problem as: Org tries to be slightly WYSIWYG in terms of
subscripts (with the relevant configuration settings).  But the facade
over the underlying textual markup is imperfect.  Users sometimes need
to edit the textual markup.

The patch I created is based on a very similar emacs feature
(prettify-symbols-mode).  (Unlike the org feature, the emacs feature
only font-locks a static list of strings; it doesn=CA=BCt handle subscripts
where the content to be font-locked can vary).  Once org supports emacs
25+ only (is it actually the case already?), I think it would be a good
idea to replace the org-entities font-locking with the emacs built-in
feature.  Then my patch could extend that for subscripts (and we could
recycle the core emacs defcustoms which control the feature=CA=BCs
optionality, rather than needing our own).
