  No concrete ideas yet, but mainly two observations:
  
  - when nesting a language you need to implement detecting the end of that code manually each time
  - you need to explicitly list all languages you want to nest, one by one
  
  The latter is ok if there is a limited amount of languages that can be nested in this context, but in case of markdown it's in theory every language we have.
  So a rule like `<NestLanguage syntax="<name or regexp capture>" end="<string|regexp>"/>` to do all the repeating work inside the engine might be interesting. We'd need to survey all current usages of nesting to see if that covers enough use-cases though, I haven't done that yet.
