Ah, indeed.  During my testing it always stopped at
\end{\whatever{foo}|} with | being point, so I assumed that's where it's
supposed to stop, i.e., right after the environment name, not right
after the environment.

I guess it's better to also test the simple cases, not only the complex
ones. ;-)

Correct.  Well, it could also be a variable that's initialized in
`LaTeX-common-initialization' or so after a call to
`hack-local-variables' to apply file local variables first.  But IMO
it's better to have it as a function.

On a second thought, the syntax-table approach will fail in case the
environment name is something unbalanced like \foo[{] which is unlikely
but possible.  So better stick to the regexp-search.

Looks good to me.

Bye,
