Ah, very true.  There is a difference.  This is because org does not
use =exampleblock=; it uses =example= instead:

:  \begin{example}[The heading for the block]

This is different to "exampleblock" which you are using.  Which one is
nicer is obviously a personal choice; I like the current version
personally!  But I must admit that I did not know about the other one
(exampleblock).
