Re: [AUCTeX] Modify environments interactively

Bad formulation, meant to say

not as a first approximation to a macro.

Not as a first env

I was thinking more on the lines of

\begin{foo}
  \begin{bar}
   cursor
  \end{bar}
\end{foo}

then some macro would transform this into

\begin{foo}
   cursor
\end{foo}

i.e. if the env to be deleted is on lines of their own, then those lines are 
removed.

BTW: I haven't switched to 11.88 yet, was hooks added to 
LaTeX-modify-environment? AFAIR we can add environment hooks to C-c C-e but not 
to C-u C-c C-e (I think someone mentioned at one point that that should be 
added as well.

Why is this needed: I add cleanup hooks to certain envs, so if I mark a region 
and insert an env around it, then it clean up the contents. But at least with 
11.87 no such hook fires if you change an env.

An example of such a cleaner is for a hint env, used in exercises to make sure 
all hints are formatted the same way. Authors often forget this, thus the text 
is often

Hint: Blah blah...

My clean up hook here removes the 'Hint: '

I guess doing `C-u C-c C-e' and then deleting the environment name could
do that, i.e., modifying an environment so that is has an empty name.
But there's no good way to delete an environment.  I mean, deleting the
\begin/\end is easy, but you'd probably also want to delete its \items
in case its an enumerate/itemize, etc.
