Latexify of irrational numbers produces weird identity transformation

[hersle]

using Symbolics, Latexify
latexify(π) # produces nice L"$π$"
latexify(π ~ 0) # produces ugly L"\begin{equation} \mathrm{identity}\left( \pi \right) = 0 \end{equation}"

I guess the Latexify recipe "naively" adds the identity from here.

Why is that there? Should a fix for this override the Latexify recipes?

If you wrap it in a term you have to have a function. We want to change the representation of literals very soon anyways, so maybe we should wait on that.

Thanks, I see. I made a relatively simple fix, feel free to merge it if you think it's worthwhile before the rewrite.
