Could you be more explicit?  Do you want to use that to pass parameters to the
LaTeX backend?  If yes, why not using the "#+LaTeX:" directive (not sure
they're still supported with the exact same syntax as before -- I've not yet
merged my documents). And that brings us to the most important question: old
or new exporter?

Eventually, can you send a real ECM, or your real use case?

Best regards,
  Seb
