It is better to be consistent in my opinion. Here is a proposed patch,
it does not use @textdegree but leads to the same output as @textdegree{}.
It fails in @math{}, but the preceding mapping also failed in @math.

I do not think that it is done for @textdegree{}, nor for many
substitutions of non-ascii characters. The previous mapping got a
fixed-width, though, as it used a space accented with a ringaccent.
