Hello, Markup structures like "#+begin_src" and "#+being_quote" can be inserted using the command `org-insert-structure-template'. In much of the documentation, these structures are called "blocks", including the existing documentation for `org-insert-structure-template'. I personally found the name `org-insert-structure-template' harder to remember when wanting to insert a "block", because I kept assuming that the word "block" would be used in the name of the command.
This attached patch adds the alias `org-insert-block-template' for `org-insert-structure-template', which I would have found more memorable when learning how to use Org's markup blocks. Thank you.
