Yes.  For now we have #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE (info "(org)Quoted examples"), but
it's just another way of converting part of the text in fixed-width font
when exporting (like C-c : does.)

Maybe this could evolve in

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE lang:shell-script
...
#+END_EXAMPLE

So that the exporters know how to fontify the content of such parts, and
so that #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE is really different than C-c :

BTW, we had a discussion earlier with Carsten on whether the #+BEGIN*
directives formed a consistent class.  I suggested to distinguish
between #+BEGIN_[export_language] and #+BEGIN_[type_of_region].  I
further suggested that we could have:

#+IF_HTML / #+ENDIF_HTML
#+IF_LaTeX / #+ENDIF_LaTeX
#+IF_TXT / #+ENDIF_TXT

and 

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE / #+END_EXAMPLE
#+BEGIN myblock

But maybe we shouldn't be the strict about the semantic, at least not at
the cost of simplicity.  

What people think?
