This was a hotly discussed issue a while back with all sorts of
suggestions. Search the archives. I believe the final consensus was to
create an alternate markup for codeblocks, which address both this use
case and well as consecutive, but separate, codeblocks. However, I
believe that only PHP Extra and Python implementations have
implemented fenced code blocks.
