There are already many ways to handle latex header. `org-latex-classes',
setupfile keywords, include keywords, latex_header,
latex_header_extra...

Adding one more is not without consequences. For example, where should
it go? After latex_header values? Before? Would the location be
configurable in `org-latex-classes'? What placeholder to use?

I admit I'm not very keen on this idea. Not because of the coding work,
it would be around 10 loc, but because of syntax fester.
