I have visited that file, and found this as well, but it does not seem
to work. I double checked this now with these tests:
https://gist.github.com/larstvei/8e06967dd099e0bd2c4c

If elisp was a language recognized in Markdown (github flavored), then
you'd be right about the value of `org-gfm-lang'.

Now it serves as a workaround to be able to work with languages that Org
deals with just fine, but does not export nice. If there is a language
with similar syntax, one can tell the gfm-exporter to use that language
instead.

I am not very fond of this workaround, but I haven't found a better
solution yet. Suggestions are very welcome!
