TeX-electric-math and smartparens in auctex

[slyfr]

Expected behavior

When setting the variable TeX-electric-math to (cons "\\(" "\\)")) in auctex modifies the behavior of $. When hitting $, \(\) should be inserted.

Actual behavior

When typing $ \(\)\) is inserted.

Steps to reproduce the problem

• Enter LaTeX-mode with auctex.
• change the value of TeX-electric-math M-:

  (setq TeX-electric-math (cons "\\(" "\\)"))

• type $

With the new update of Auctex (version >= 14), I believe it should work correctly if we remove TeX-insert-dollar from sp--special-self-insert-commands. @Fuco1 any thoughts?
