I agree that this would be nice.  But additionally, I'd think.  My
expectation about toggling latex fragments would still be that it would
by default only toggle the current fragment.  Maybe that would be less
of an issue if the code was visible as well.

I am not sure I understand that.  What do you mean when you rely on
entities?  Just the replacements for \alpha, ...?  I think they do not
help too much for the more complicated formulas.  Maybe I am just out of
training when it comes to reading LaTeX...
