I like FEM because:
]FEM it too long
]EM can lead to inconsistence. Are we getting rid of F only for \emph{}
or for all font commands? Look for FIT. It is \itshape{}. You can change
it for ]IT but what about EIT (\begin{itemize})?
Existing system of shortcuts is slightly awkward bu at least (I hope)
internally consistent.
Really nice would be something quite different. Possibility for user to
create his own mappings by doing :map ]em FEM (in another words: create
latexSuite API). But I do not know how to do this.

This is possible with checking of current syntax. Benji did it for
inserting cdots, and I used it in 'polski' file.

if synIDattr(synID(line('.'),col('.')-1,0),"name") =~ '^texMath\|^texZone'
