Hm, the same applies to things like \verb|foo| or \verb+foo+, etc.

I think, there's a high chance that this would result in false
positives.  Beamer is the only package I know that uses angle brackets
to enclose arguments, so maybe adding a new variable for extra argument
enclosers which would be set by style/beamer.el would be a sane and
reasonable safe approach.
