Pedro, the only problem I see with that is that it is an example of
LaTeX rather than Org. The only Org part here is #+LaTeX_header, and in
the entire section it's already made clear enough what it's used for.

Perhaps a brief reminder (the AUTO facility of the previous examples
is very limited) could be added first, and that if the users want to
obtain more complex, or more specific results (like the case you
exemplify for pdfLaTeX) they must put explicit LaTeX code, using
LaTeX_header. And then your example would come, but emphasizing that the
LaTeX documentation must be consulted. wdyt?

My point is that if we abuse examples of this type (at the expense of
"#+latex_header:something"), or "how is this done in LaTeX?", in the end
a LaTeX manual is made instead of Org.

I'm glad you enjoyed the jump to LuaTeX. :-)

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
