Hi,

I was checking which changes had been landed to the main branch as the result of Ihor's work and I noticed a commit unrelated to my initial curiosity but that might be questionable:

commit 15d25644cc8d88fd5cd0ad53caedaedad3635d8d

org-entities: Change \minus to -

* lisp/org-entities.el: The LaTeX command \minus doesn't exist, but a
hyphen in math mode produces a minus symbol.

-     ("minus" "\\minus" t "−" "-" "-" "−")
+     ("minus" "-" t "−" "-" "-" "−")

Should it be "\textminus" instead? I never used it but my expectation that it was added for text mode outside of equations: \minus1. It required \usepackage{textcomp} in the past, but it seems it is not the issue any more, so the symbol is available out of the box. I was not following that changes in LaTeX so I may miss something.
