There’s at least some notion in the Latex community that captions atop
tables but below figures is sensible style:
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3243/why-should-a-table-caption-be-placed-above-the-table>.
In that light, does it make sense to instead implement this setting as an alist
with separate settings for tables, images, src blocks, etc.? (Of
course, there could be separate variables
org-latex-{table,figure,src-block}-caption-above, but a single alist
seems simpler)
Thanks,
