From you patch, it seems that you want to adds something akin
to #+LATEX_HEADER or #+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA.  IOW there's no formatting
going on and these lines expect raw latex code.

Could you not get the same by using org-latex-classes?  Or at the latex
level solution could presumably be archived with etoolbox.  Anyway,
another keyword doesn't hurt anybody.
