The comma character is not TeX-escaped because it is frequent in general
text and escaping it would make the LaTeX output larger for only dealing
with the problem of the LaTeX-ligature of ,, into a single character.
And one there is problem with the commas in options to Verbatim from
PygmentsBridge.
The hyphen character is escaped (not in ids and URIs!) to
\sphinxhyphen{} for both Unicode and non-Unicode engines. This is needed
to work around hyperref transforming -- and --- from section titles into
EN DASH resp. EM DASH in PDF bookmarks.

Note to expert LaTeX users: if Sphinx latex user with xelatex has
- turned off Smart Quotes for some reason,
- but does want TeX ligatures and thus overrode Sphinx
latex_elements['fontenc'] default (since #6888) to this effect,
then this should be added to LaTeX preamble:
\def\sphinxhyphen#1{-}% (\protected is now not needed)
\let\sphinxhyphenforbookmarks\sphinxhyphen
This compatibility is mainly re-instored for convenience of user to
style the fonts used for the caption, and also possibly influence the
horizontal position via "width" or "margin" option of caption package
(attention that caption package obeys the document class tacit "twoside"
option, so if left and right margins are not set-up to be the same,
positioning of caption will depend on parity of the page number).
Regarding vertical skips, for captions placed on top (which is the table
templates default and also the literalblockcappos default), this commit
ensures that the vertical spacing separating the caption last baseline
to the top of framing is governed by \sphinxbelowcaptionspace in all
these three cases: tabular(y), longtable, literal blocks; the "skip"
option of caption package is ignored for them.
The "skip" is obeyed for the spacing between an image and its caption,
which currently in Sphinx is always below the image (no customization of
the figure caption vertical placement is currently available).
If literalblockcappos is "b" (captions follow code-blocks), this commit
removes the caption-package added \abovecaptionskip, so that "skip" is
also ignored for code-blocks in this case. This looks better due to the
extra space already added by the framing of the code-block and achieves
same spacing as without caption package (presumably loaded mainly to
style the fonts used for the caption). However in future maybe caption's
package "skip" should be obeyed for "literalblock" caption type.

This implementation in latex writer allows arbitrary columns to be
declared "stub columns". But currently Docutils option
``:stub-columns:`` only allows a number telling the how many initial
columns are "stub columns".
