Thank you!

I wondered if something like this had been proposed or discussed before.
Searching the list, I see a patch [0] very similar to yours from a
couple of months back that didn't get a response (author added to cc).

Further back, there is a thread about an exporter Thomas Dye (+cc) wrote
to handle marginfigure and some other Tufte-y things [1].  It looks like
the code is available at <https://github.com/tsdye/tufte-org-mode>,
though I'm not sure if it still works with the current Org.

As for the proposed patch, while I think the specific code change itself
looks fine, skimming through the above thread makes me think that adding
marginfigure to ox-latex.el without considering similar cases may not be
the right approach.  What do others think?
