You are right on the %e of course.  You should check the things we bind in
the top let-binding.  The useful ones should be accessible.  A quick
guess (you’ll have to decide):

- lang
- caption
- label
- float
- perhaps more from attributes?

Perhaps it’s safer to use [[:alnum:]] or even [a-zA-Z0-9].  \w follows the
syntax table which might go weird, though I’m not sure how.

Thanks Alan!
