I started to wonder and came to the conclusion that this might be
interesting for my "cloze" idea (with syntax as in one of my previous
messages).  However, I can't really understand what is going on here.
It seems to me that the key function is
org-latex--wrap-latex-math-block; it is, however, a bit long and I'm a
bit afraid of studying it (and don't have enough time today for that
anyway).  What would you suggest for grokking the idea of
"pseudo-objects"?  In particular:

- How do they get parsed?  What portions of the source should I read
  to understand that?

- Would it be a good idea to instrument one (or more) functions for
  edebug to get the idea of what's going on there?

- How risky is it to use Org from master in day-to-day usage?  Do
  people (other than the devs) do this on a regular basis?  Is coming
  back to maint as simple as checking out another branch from the git
  repo?
