If generalized this function could be equally useful for non-src blocks as well. Example blocks come immediately to mind, but there are non-coding applications too. For instance, I store many notes with quotes from various texts, sometimes in fairly long =#+begin_quote= blocks, which I then need to split up when I want to write an extended discussion of a passage, quoting a few lines at a time. For those who use verse blocks (I all too seldom have the need...), it may be even more useful. For personal use, I already have a little org-insert-block utility function to insert/wrap [q]uote, [s]rc, e[x]ample, [v]erse or [o]ther blocks at a keystroke. This works for me since I use at least the first two more or less equally often. A generalized demarcate-block function would be a nice complement.
