I am against such code.
_Why mostly:_
At the moment the code escapes the provided brackets and the current
behaviour is
#+date: {my}{fancy}{date} -> \date\{my\}\{fancy\}\{date\}
#+date: @@latex:{my}{fancy}{date}@@
Anyway such date is not suitable for other backends.
I think, custom command name and "#+latex_header:" with such command is
proper solution.
It is possible to choose some combination of existing options like
#+options: date:t
#+date:
as instruction to not add the \date command, but I think it would be
confusing for users and anyway a breaking change for some of them.
I suppose, reverting the patch was the proper step.
