I think this could use a bit more context.  I believe you're referring
to docs/sphinx/qmp_lexer.py.  It describes itself as "a Sphinx extension
that provides a QMP lexer for code blocks."

"If we parse all examples as QMP" and "Once the QMP lexer is active for
examples" suggests we're *not* using it for (some?) examples.  So what
are we using it for?

Patch looks lovely.

Hat tip to Victor Toso, who fixed up most examples two years ago.  Back
then we couldn't decide how to do elisions, so we left some unfixed.
