Luckily, this is trivial to implement. 

One needs to write a `org-edit-latex-fragment' function in "org-src.el",
which would be a mix between `org-edit-latex-environment' and
`org-edit-inline-src-code' (without all the Babel stuff).

The new function can then be installed in `org-edit-special' from
"org.el".

Unfortunately, no one so far volunteered to do it (*hint*).

Great. For non-trivial (more than 15 locs) contributions to Org mode
(and more generally, to GNU projects), you need to sign FSF papers. You
might want to consider signing them beforehand.
