Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the problem to me; I
now understand it much better!  That said, if the heuristic is

  <SPACE> $ <NO-SPACE> ...MATH... <NO-SPACE> $- <NO-SPACE>

then `$3 or =$5' to `$3-$5' would not cause any troubles, right?  What
common, real-world use-case would trigger problems with this simple
heuristic?
