Hmm... I think I'll stick with <:block> as quoted by Christian.
It's a bit convoluted: (:input start:) and (:input end:) need a 
different regex, and I'd have to prevent them from being recognised if 
not at the beginning of a line - my first attempts for that met with 
failure, so I'll have to spend a quieter hour with getting that right.


While we're at Keep(): What's its second parameter for? It's called 
$level, but what it actually does doesn't look very level-like to me - 
seems rather a way to create different Keep() namespaces. (I think I 
have an (ab)use for the mechanism, but I need to understand it a little 
better before going ahead.)
