   If you use C-x 8 SPC in a text file, you probably want to export it
as ~ in LaTeX, not to include that Unicode character directly. But
this conversion is a strange one, therefore it may be besser to offer
a syntax for the ~ (non-breaking space) in LaTeX. For instance \~ or ~

   But we said that if someone writes ~ in an org-file, then it is
expected that ~ appears at the result. Therefore:
   ~ is for the sign ~
   other sign (maybe \~ ) is for the non-breaking space

   I know this behaviour it's not the same as LaTeX, but I don't think
it's a problem.
