To correct myself (I misread the bug, sorry): we did add support for
optional arguments to environments at the same level as they are
supported for macros. This is what this entry said.

To go back to the bug itself:

What you ask for in the bug report is an elaborate way of doing ERT. I
do not see the usefulness of this. Either we offer real transparent
support, or we keep it simple. In the example given in comment #9, you
can be sure that people will wonder how they can add option "foo" for
only some of the paragraphs, but not all, which will defeat the
purpose of your nicely crafted layout file. 

So I agree that we need to do something, but I still do not know what.
I tend to think that we will not have a good answer until we can add
python code in the layout files.
(And besides, macros with all kind of perverse syntax are a pain).
