True, however I don't get the same output as I used to with this and
think it's essentially useless now. =#+begin_src org/end_src= used to
give me the equivalent of essentially a block of Org-mode syntax that
would be interpreted and parsed just as if it had no #+begin/end
around it. Now, it's output to LaTeX in \begin{verbatim} /
\end{verbatim}. It's treated like source code, not Org-mode text to be
exported.

=#+begin_src org= seems to be no different than =#+begin_example= or
=#+begin_src lang :exports code :eval no=
