Bare braces, indeed, but TeX commands have to be passed as is, and for
texi2any, a TeX command is nothing else than simple text.  Besides, 
matching bare braces in general work in TeX and delimitate blocks?  Or
I am missing something?  Anyway, in 

@inlineraw{tex, $--{x^i}\over{\tan y}$} 

matching braces should be accepted in my opinion.

So, I'll make all matching braces be accepted (in all the formats).
