This is not really useful as, with muscle memory, you'll probably mark
the appropriate region instead of counting lines. Also it requires the
point to be at the center of the area you want to wrap.

Why limiting it to source blocks? One may want to wrap region with,
e.g., a quote block.

Also, with a prefix argument, it would be nice to edit the block
containing point (change its type), or remove it completely.
