Not sure if that's a valuable feature. At least, it doesn't happen very
frequently that I write down some formula and forget to enclose it with
$, but I don't have a strong opinion here.
But I object to the 'double value. The usage of $$...$$ is discouraged
in LaTeX, so we shouldn't propagate it's usage. And it's usecase is
handled anyway by
1. set the region containing the formula
2. C-c C-e displaymath RET
Ok, that's a bit longer than just doing 1 and then $, but really, who
forgets to insert some proper math environment before starting to write
a formula?
Bye,
