Maybe I missed it!

Can't we do this with tempo? It will have to be "handmade", not
automatic, but:

'(("s" "Source Code")
  ("se" "Elisp" "src elisp")
  ("sp" "Python" "src python")
  ("TAB" "Empty" "src ")
  ...etc
  ("e" "Export Block")
  ("eh" "HTML" "export html")
  ("el" "LaTeX" "export latex")
  ("TAB" "Empty" "export ")
  ...etc
  ("v" "Verbatim" "verbatim")
  ("q" "Quote" "quote")
  ("E" "Example" "example")
  ...etc
  )
