I think this is something interesting, but I wonder now if we wouldn't loose
more than we would win. I mean: how would one be able to output a real "raw"
result, then, that is one where pipes are not interpreted as table field
separator which have to be aligned in some specific way.

Do we need another argument for that?

I mean: at the end, raw should really be raw (no interpretation). If we want
some cycling for table alignment purpose (BTW, do you have lots of such code
blocks?), maybe it'd be better to introduce a `cycle' argument or so?

Maybe I don't understand the problem correctly, but I'd think this "raw
implies verbatim" would have to take place after _each_ above step.

If between 3 and 4, then a raw specified on the block level (step 7) wouldn't
imply verbatim?  Does that make sense?

I think every raw (be it default, language, buffer, subtree or block-local)
would have to imply the same reasoning.
