Well, clearly I'm not going to be in favour of introducing exceptions to the general syntax. However, I had originally thought that we should have =alias and =dealias directives to delimit code extractions. In the end I liked the use of the code's own delimiters better, but I guess if people preferred to have two directives as delimiters, we could consider that instead. Let's see what others think.
