There's an existing convention in Markdown, if I'm not mistaken, of
mentioning a programming language's name in curly brackets after an
opening code fence, which is used as a hint for syntax highlighting.
I'm not clear on the details, entirely, but people have mentioned it
before.

It might be smart to adopt/extend that syntax?

For now I am leaning toward "recommended convention"...
