But I agree than on other examples, the latex output may be not as explicit (sometimes, this is the other way round). Anyway, in case of doubt about an object A, print(A) will always return the plain text description of A. So, I would advocate to reverse the logic here: instead of %display latex or show(A) or whatever to get the latex output, have A --> latex output (or any other rich display of A, like svg via the standard Jupyter way, namely _repr_svg_) print(A) --> plain text.
