Subject: [PATCH 1/4] ox-latex: Refactor `org-latex-src-block'
When I was trying to fix an issue with caption, I was not brave enough
for massive changes. I do not like the original code of the function.
There are some unit tests for exporting of src blocks. Maybe the new
option should be tested as well.
+(defun org-latex-src-block--verbatim
+ (src-block info _lang caption caption-above-p _label
+ _num-start _retain-labels _attributes float)
On the one hand I have no a better suggestion, but on the other hand 10
arguments is too much for straightforward code from my point of view.
Unsure that getting parameters in each function or passing a property
list would not be worse however.
It reminds me a case when a colleague failed in despair trying to figure
out what was wrong with his 15 argument fortran function. I do not
remember exactly whether it was a missed argument or an extra one. The
last one was assumed to be a parameter (constant) and the identifier was
not available in debugger since compiler just substituted the number
without creation of a symbol and it added even more confusion.
My other notes are rather loosely related to your patches. The issues
may be postponed till someone will start a new thread for them. My hope
is that some of them might be easily addressed so that they will not
need separate testing.
A problem with percent sign in captions is tracked on
updates.orgmode.org. Some environments has not fixed yet:

That time I was puzzled why the option is named "multicolumn" while only
regular "figure" is added:
+ (cond ((string= "multicolumn" float)
+ (format "\\begin{figure*}[%s]\n%s%s\n%s\\end{figure*}"
If language is added to "#+begin_example:" than the block content is
properly fontified in the Emacs buffer. It would be great to treat such
example similar to source block during export. When some code is not
supposed to be executed, it is natural to use example block. I am
curious if new functions may be reused.
