Yes, I was more thinking about `LaTeX-flushleft-env-list-local' (or
something like that).  I asked for this because I think we need more
flexibility in AUCTeX's indentation code.  My plea is to implement an
interface and don't setq-local custom variables and then append stuff
them later.

I was thinking about the standard way of defining environments with
\newenvironment{comment} :-)
