Oh, indeed.

That and TeX-grop, TeX-grcl, and [] for optional args, no?

Either that, or we could also rely on syntax tables.  I.e., since
`LaTeX-find-matching-end' already brings us to the end of the
environment name,

  (let ((end (point)))
    (forward-char)
    (backward-sexp)
    (forward-char)
    (buffer-substring-no-properties (point) end))

gives us the environment name.
