Just thinking...

Hi,

duplicating export entries for LaTeX and Beamer makes the interface not
exactly clean.
We do have the LaTeX class, which should be "beamer" (I hope) for Beamer
presentations, right?

So why not use that to decide internally between (org-latex-export-...) and
(org-beamer-...) and then have a unified interaction with the user?

Best, /PA

I am afraid that implementing this would be a kludge. For technical
reasons.

For example, Org export parses keywords depending on the selected export
backend. Selected in advance.

You are right. It is easy to do from emacs-lisp scripts, looking for
LATEX_CLASS in a document and then deciding to use the org-latex-... or the
org-beamer-... functions, but it looks much more difficult in org.el itself
:(
It's just that it would look much more elegant to have only one. For me
Beamer is just a LaTeX 'feature'...

Actually, it should be possible to modify `org-latex-export-as-latex',
`org-latex-export-to-latex', and `org-latex-export-to-pdf' to load
ox-beamer and invoke the beamer-specific export commands.
