Ah, thank you. If I understand correctly, though, once one does that
(in an SRC org block, say) one looses the ability to edit the block as
org code using org-edit-special (C-c ').

I understand that the indentation is virtual; it is just that I would
(ideally) expect for the quoted example to visually look the same as
it does in an org buffer.

OK. I had missed this footnote. I will live with this, but am still
surprised by this fact -- the SRC org block looks ugly to me. When we
enter [[xx]] (say) the brackets become invisible, so I had assumed
that a similar mechanism could exist here; I guess there are
advantages to the present situation that I do not see...

Very good. I'll wait.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanations.
