I don't know what I could add or remove. The tests pass and I manually
checked that the new behaviour is the expected one.

I misunderstood the script, then! I fixed that locally.

Since it's an extension of features that have never been released (apart
from alphas and betas), I don't think there are many such layouts; I
suppose that these users will have a look at the final set of features when
2.4 is out. Even if there were, I really don't know what I could do: even
if the custom layout is a new theorem-like environment, maybe the user is
completely OK with what they currently have (maybe they have a wrapper tag
that does what they want, or they don't care about wrapper tags at all).
The only conversion that would be mostly safe is detecting the pattern I
was using in the layout files, which is maybe too specific.
