Well, the definitions of "ang" and "angle" in org-entities are identical
for all export backends:
("ang" "\\angle" t "∠" "[angle]" "[angle]" "∠")
("angle" "\\angle" t "∠" "[angle]" "[angle]" "∠")
But there's no *conflict* with other backends, and for latex a
conflict arises only with a particular package, which is not something
we can generally guard against. Anyway, I don't think we guarantee that
latex commands will work outside a latex environment of some kind. And
as I've belatedly added to my reply, the obvious solution =\(\ang{90}\)=
only requires a few extra keystrokes. So no, there's not much of a case
for making a breaking change.
Yours,
Christian
