Hmm, I'm intrigued by this and it could solve one of my long standing
issue with Org LaTeX export.

I write all new sentences with "  ", and for stuff like "fig. " I use
one space.  Pretty consistently.  I would love to modify the function
to recognize "point one space" as ".~" and "point double space" as
".  ".  (i.e. no translation).

Can anyone think of a clever regexp that recognizes the above pattern?
I tried, "\\.[ ]\{1\}" but it didn't work.  And without the \{1\} it's
too strong. . .

Thanks in advance,
Rasmus
