This seems to be better than using the macros but also worse...

It's better because LaTeX mode still knows that $$, () etc should match
each other but using key-translation-map, I'm mapping the keys globally,
so the whole emacs has the keys swapped.

I tried using local-key-translation-map but the local in it does not
mean "local buffer". So by now my problems are:

Using macros:
I loose blinking matches of [], {} etc
I loose using ^ to accentuate with quail, if I do swap 6^

Using key-translation-map:
I remap globally
I loose using ^ to accentuate with quail, if I do swap 6^

Any other ideas?
