You had an opportunity to submit an alternative patch fixing regexps.
I am neutral in respect to "$...$" vs. "\(...\)". The former is more
prone to heuristics false positives.
What I do not like is that "$$...$$" and "\[...\]" are inline objects,
not block level elements. However notion of paragraphs are different in
Org and TeX.
Prefer =\(...\)= for + inline snippets.
Fragments, not snippets. Right?
I agree with you that snippets are more related to export and fragments
to LaTeX. See (info "(org) LaTeX math snippets")
https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-math-snippets.html
though. It is about ODT however. Perhaps somebody should go through the
manual to replace all LaTeX "snippets" to fragments for consistency.

Subject: [PATCH v2] org-manual.org: $n$-th is not math
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
* doc/org-manual.org (LaTeX fragments): Do not state that dash is
allowed after single "$" math delimiter and recommend "\(...\)".
Detection of "$-" as closing math delimiters has been broken since 2015
as a side effect of using punctuation class in regular expressions while
dash is considered as a word constituent. See commits
6779f8f424 and c0369a7984. Bring the manual in accordance to the code
instead of allowing "($-2 change)" false positives. Users who do not
like "\(...\)" constructs may use a helper for typing it and may change
how it is displayed to minimize visual noise by fontification, see
