+1.  

My use case is the one Ken mentioned earlier--customizing biblatex with
Org mode header lines.  I do this by googling and then experimenting
with the code chunks I discover (I don't want to be a biblatex
programmer).  I format the code chunks now with a keyboard macro, which
works but is more complex than I like.  A construct like the one Aaron
has implemented is handy in this situation.

All the best,
Tom
