Quickbook's syntax is modal and switches to and from plain quickbook syntax to c++/python/etc. Unlike Quickbook, ReST does not have highlighting and the code above will be ambiguous in Quickbook in c++ source code mode.
Perhaps what we need is a way to escape to qbk from within code snippets. In qbk mode, we use the tick `some code` to switch temprarily from qbk to source code mode. I think it should be easy to do the same the other way around. To avoid clashing with the syntax of the language, the escape mark should be part of the highlighting configuration. For c++, we can reuse the tick. Example:
struct is_void : public `*true-or-false-type*` {};
Thoughts?
That's actually one of the things I tried in case it worked already, so yes I think it is a good idea ;-)
