I don't think a ":raw" option for special blocks is worth implementing.

There are two types or "raw" contents: "protected raw" (i.e., verbatim
contents) and "export-specific raw" (i.e., target language code). For
the former, we already have example blocks (or fixed-width areas) and
for the latter, export blocks.

A third category exists, "multi-language raw", in which, I think, only
the most trivial cases (those you never really need in practice) would
fit.

The OP wants special "protected raw" for LaTeX back-end. We could
provide a special attribute for this, e.g.,

  #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment "my-verbatim"
  #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  ... stuff...
  #+END_EXAMPLE

But this is really only a shortcut for

  #+BEGIN_my-verbatim
  #+BEGIN_LATEX
  stuff
  #+END_LATEX
  #+END_my-verbatim

WDYT?
