The reason for why it is in TeX-fold-math-spec-list is that when I
started with Emacs I stole it from Tecosaur's config. There are quite a
few function specs in my TeX-fold-math-spec-list e.g. for sqrt, frac,
mathcal, mathfrak and mathbb etc and most of them are relevant only for
math. Should they be moved to TeX-fold-macro-spec-list?
