Good idea, except that `LaTeX-find-matching-end' fails to find the
closing brace of \end when the environment name is a macro with
arguments.  The attached patch should fix this problem.
`LaTeX-environment-name-regexp' needs to be a function because if it
were a variable it would always keep the original value, also in
buffers with different values for `TeX-grop' and `TeX-grcl' (or not?).
Probably `LaTeX-modify-environment' can be simplified following your
suggestion, the patch sketches an idea how to fix
`LaTeX-find-matching-end', but can be improved.

Bye,
Mosè
