It’s important for LaTeX users to have a way to write “/” into the
output – sometimes it might not possible to use a literal “/” in org,
because of the /emphasis/ markup.

It seems to me (as a user of both latex and html export) that most of
the time I want “/” in the output, regardless of backend.  Maybe (org’s)
\slash should retain its meaning, and there should be a new entity which
obeys your proposal.

It also seems like \slash in latex has some odd properties
wrt. hyphenation:
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/97310/slash-allows-for-hyphenation-of-only-the-word-on-its-left-how-to-fix-it-for-th>.
So maybe latex power users would rather write something more complicated
using the @@latex:\slash\hspace{0pt}@@ syntax.

Thanks,
