This would actually be useful for arbitrary latex code. I know in
particular that I would love a similiar feature for using Paul Taylor's
diagram.sty[fn:1], generetating inline latex, when compiling to PDF, and
genertating an SVG when exporting to HTML.

It would also be very nice not to have to name every block, just like
the inline math doesn't need to be given a name, when using one of the
image backends.
