It's a bit verbose for my application. I was suggesting using
comments with a special first character for literate programming
instructions, e.g. embedded python code to test code examples. So,
for example,
[/@compile()]
to compile the last code example. With your suggestion, that would be
[xml @compile()]
not terrible, but as I said, a bit verbose.
Of course, it would be great to get a dedicated one-character block
for my own purposes...
