Okay thanks. :)

Personally I think having the option to shoot myself in the foot is
preferable over not being able to configure. But then others may not
agree. Is it possible to disallow :overlay when :environment is
provided? If so you could generate a warning during export.
That said, the way I see it, most widely used list-like environments are
of the "new item on a new line" kind (which are supported by overlays).
I wanted to use inparaenum for ease of editing, in my slide I wanted an
inline list (where overlays aren't really needed). So setting the two
attributes simultaneously is probably very unlikely.
I am quoting my use case below in case that helps the discussion.
Something like item (1) would have been nice, however I ended up using
(2).
1) Asymmetries can be constructed that are,
#+attr_beamer: :environment "inparaenum" :options "i)"
1. CP-odd,
2. CPT-odd and
3. T-odd
2) Asymmetries can be constructed that are, i) CP-odd, ii) CPT-odd and
iii) T-odd.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
