I think both this and Torsten's original idea would both be nice
options.  Preferably the final solution would subsume either use case.
Unfortunately either implementation would require a fairly significant
amount of work on the inline source block system, work which I
unfortunately do not have time for at the moment (although I'm happy to
help if anyone else wants to jump into the code).
