This function may be easily written outside of Org-mode by anyone who
needs it.

I don't see that Org-mode itself will ever want to programatically and
non-interactively insert a code block in an Org-mode file (if fact that
sounds rather dangerous to me), so I would vote against adding such a
function to the core.
