A while back, Dan Dill wrote TeX/Mathematica
(ftp://chem.bu.edu/pub/tex-mathematica-2.0), which does something
similar.  (I later hacked that into EMaxima.)  <<chunkname>> was still
<<chunkname>>, though.  I like \chunk{chunkname} better. 
The notangle part of TeX/Mathematica was written in Elisp, though.
