Please submit patches to do that, it shouldn't be hard.

(I wonder why the built-in TeX support in the spell-checker doesn't do
this job, it's supposed to be adequate, and all Emacs needs to do is
to tell the speller it is working on TeX text.  So I don't even
understand why we need to skip something on our own in these cases.)
