Find attached a patch to this effect.  It is the combination of two
changes which I consider tiny: one is the support for hfmt itself as an
ATTR_LaTeX attribute; the other is the consolidation of the
word-matching on the attributes into local macros, which I needed
because my use case (as above) includes the string "multicolumn", which
was otherwise confusing the attribute parser into thinking that I needed
a table* LaTeX environment.

Please let me know if this suits better.

Subject: [PATCH] hfmt table attribute in LaTeX export

* org-latex.el (org-export-latex-tables):
  - new word-match and attr-match local macros to reduce
    boilerplate.  (This is a tiny, mechanical change)
  - support hfmt LaTeX_ATTR attribute, and if given pass
    it through to orgtbl-to-latex.  (This is a tiny change)
