And I'm saying that people should just write:
#+latex_header: \usepackage{mathtools} \mathtoolsset{showonlyrefs}
aaa
\begin{equation}
bbb
\end{equation}
ccc
Org isn't LaTeX and there’s no difference in the output from \[⋯\]
and \begin{equation*}⋯\end{equation*} or the above.
Nonetheless, I don't feel strongly about the (non)issue so if this
behavior is better, somehow, go for it.
