Currently there is no more concise way to specify code blocks other than
the normal code block format.  Although it doesn't currently exist maybe
an option could be added to hide the #+BEGIN/END_SRC lines so that they
don't appear in the buffer.  That combined with a helper for specifying
code blocks (I use yasnippets for this) should serve.
