whew, OK, this is interesting. I guess you have written your own class
somewhere, is that right? And even though your header is defined in
latex_header it still somehow is included inside of \begin{document}?

... and if I turn this into an org latex class, then am I right that I an
simply set that latex_class header at the top of a document and all of this
will be handled for me autmagically on export? That would be fantastic.

Gonna follow up some more in response to ckelty, whose stuff I've been
working with thus far.
