Ok, I've implemented that.  I also added docs to the manual, both for
users as well as for style file authors.

In contrast to the above, I've decided to name the variable/predicate
"TeX-add-" instead of "TeX-include-".

So Mads, now I'm happy to accept all your patches that add missing
macros/environments, but please wrap those that can be identified as
"rarely used/useful" or "only for experts" by looking at the docs like
so:

  (when (TeX-add-advanced-macros/envs-p "packagename")
    (TeX-add-symbols ...)
    (LaTeX-add-environments ...))

Bye,
Tassilo
