Comment (by gouezel):

 It is certainly possible to avoid the conversion from string to LatexExpr
 and then back to string. However, simply trying x._latex_() and catching
 an exception will not suffice, since _latex_() is broken in some cases
 where it exists (see has_latex_attr in latex.py). So, one would need to
 duplicate part of the code of latex() (more precisely, the first few lines
 of Latex.__call__).

 Since latex output should never be speed-critical (it is supposed to be
 read by humans, right?), I would rather stay with the current version of
 the patch to avoid code duplication and keep it as simple as possible.
