When table.el exports to latex, charecters like '$' are all escaped.
This makes table.el tables practically useless for any sorts of latex
export.
Attached is a diff that adds a variable that controls what should be
escaped.

Hi Pranshu,
thanks for your work.
Bug reports and fixes, feature requests and patches/implementations
should be sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org (tipically we use M-x
report-emacs-bug). Please see the CONTRIBUTE file in our repo for
details.
If we could have it sent there would be great so we can track this.
Thanks
Andrea
