This is not a general solution for it may fail if you customized
`LaTeX-command'.  A more general approach could be to save the
original value of `LaTeX-command' in another variable and use
`string=' with that.

Quoting `lambda' forms normally is unnecessary and prevents
byte-compilation (if done like above).
