Thank you. Some comments follow.

This block type doesn't exist. You can remove it.

#+LATEX or #+latex (see below)

As suggested by Rasmus once, maybe we could get away from FORTRAN touch
and insert everything lowercase.

I would remove "Hitting <TAB> prompts for a structure." which belongs to
the function's docstring, not to variable's.

I'm not sure about this part. I understand the backward-compatibility
concern, but it sounds a bit alien to the purpose of the function, i.e.,
there is no wrapping around, it is not an "environment" either. WDYT?

You can remove it.

You need to update :version and :package-version. Technically,
if :package-version is provided, we should only use it, IIUC.

"When it is <TAB>, prompt the user for a string to use."

`cdr-safe' -> `cdr'

Nitpick: (and (eq key ?\t) (read-string ...))

See above.
