Hi Phil,

just to let you know: this idea is not forgotten.  However, we have some
internal discussion about a big generalization of the exporters.
If that happens, things like special formatting of examples will be  
easy to
add.  Before being sure what is going to happen, I don't want to
be spending time with this.

However, since you have signed the papers now, feel free to implement
a proposal for the exporter.  The routing where you want to hook into
might be org-cleaned-string-for-export - this is where the BEGIN_EXAMPLE
is currently turned into a quoted string.  However, the fact that I am
pointing you to this routine might already show that the exporter
really needs a rewrite.
