I've found a number of references to the problem of aligning columns, especially using the block environment [1, 2, 3]. Specifically, I would like to supply option arguments to either the `columns` or `column` latex environment directive. As written, it appears that only the `block` environment can be supplied options. I have also tried the BEAMER_envarg suggestion on the website to no avail.

To clarify, I would like to inject an option `[t]` such that a .org file that looks like

```

```

gets translated into tex that looks like

```

```

Note that an alternative of placing `[t]` after each `column` environment would also work.

Has anyone gotten these environments to work nicely together?

Cheers,

Matt
