Personally I've never had a need for this but I can see how this is
useful.  It would also be consistent with the other marking commands,
like `mark-word' and `mark-paragraph', although those mark multiple
items in sequence, not hiearchically.

Could you prepare your contribution as a patch against the current
version of latex.el in CVS?  Please also include a ChangeLog entry.
Make sure you are not contributing more than about 12 lines of new code
because otherwise we'd require a copyright assignment from you.  I think
it's e.g. fine to refrain from adding an example to the doc string.

Closing parens on a line of their own are "unlispy".

If you start from the outermost environment found, you only need one
call to `LaTeX-find-matching-begin'.  Not sure which approach is more
robust.
