I agree. Do you want to take care of this? This requires an entry in
ORG-NEWS and some documentation changes too.

It permits to use a different caption command (e.g., \bicaption{}{}). It
is similar to using \captionof instead of \caption. But I think adding
"capt-of" to default packages list is better.
