"manual.org" is not meant to be exported to HTML through "ox-html", but
using Texinfo itself. AFAIK, Texinfo does not highlight specially Org
syntax, so using "begin_src org" is not very important for export.

Moreover, the advantage of using "begin_example" instead is:
1. we can use fixed-width for one-liners,
2. Org fontification for source blocks can be sometimes misleading,
   as you sometimes cannot what is an example and what is not.
