We may extend `org-latex-classes' to allow custom backend option values.
For example,

  (latex-subtitle-format . value)
  (latex-subtitle-separate . value)

Then, we can use these values as the overrides when the variables are
not set explicitly as buffer-locals or as in-buffer/subtree export
keywords.
