Find attached a patch to this effect.  It is the combination of two
changes which I consider tiny: one is the support for hfmt itself as an
ATTR_LaTeX attribute; the other is the consolidation of the
word-matching on the attributes into local macros, which I needed
because my use case (as above) includes the string "multicolumn", which
was otherwise confusing the attribute parser into thinking that I needed
a table* LaTeX environment.

Please let me know if this suits better.
