Thanks for this Ikumi, but this produced the following
message in my *Messages* buffer.

--------8<-------------------------------------------8<--------
Done (Total of 0 files compiled, 292 skipped in 2 directories)
--------8<-------------------------------------------8<--------

I tried the same with `sudo emacs' also, but still the
message didn't change, but while trying this I found the
command `M-x byte-recompile-file' with which I compiled the
latex.el and then I was able to test the changes. Thanks a
lot!

About the patch:
I am not a mathematician, so probably won't be able to say
anything about the problems Tassilo and Arash are pointing
out. From my (probably very little) experience of LaTeX I
don't think these changes could ever be harmful for my
documents. This is just a personal comment about the
changes, please give priority to the comments of experienced
TeXperts more than mine :-)

Other suggestion(s):
If these changes are dangerous for a lot of documents and
mathematical writing; then maybe can we have a minor mode,
like say, M-x LaTeX-indent-braces with these new settings
and not make them default? OTOH if the problem-cases are
trivial and rare, can we have the new settings enabled by
default and a minor mode to turn then off?

Ah! I didn't know this. Thanks. I will remember this. Is
this done with git or some other program by the way? (I mean
the patch command.)
