[BUG] Dynamic blocks not recognized by org-element

[BUG] Dynamic blocks not recognized by org-element

[Nick Dokos]

Starting with `emacs -Q', I create a simple file with the following 
contents:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Clocktable

#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 3 :emphasize nil :scope file
#+END: clocktable
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I position the cursor on the #+BEGIN line and evaluate
`(org-element-at-point)'. I expected to get a dynamic-block, but I get a
paragraph:

(paragraph
  (:begin 15 :end 74 :contents-begin 15 :contents-end 74 :post-blank 0 
:post-affiliated 15 :mode planning :granularity element :parent
          (section
           (:begin 15 :end 92 :contents-begin 15 :contents-end 92 
:robust-begin 15 :robust-end 90 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 15 :mode 
section :granularity element :parent
                   (headline
                    (:raw-value "Clocktable" :begin 1 :end 92 :pre-blank 
1 :contents-begin 15 :contents-end 92 :robust-begin 17 :robust-end 90 
:level 1 :priority nil :tags nil :todo-keyword nil :todo-type nil 
:post-blank 0 :footnote-section-p nil :archivedp nil :commentedp nil 
:post-affiliated 1 :title "Clocktable"))))))

Looks like a bug to me.

It is to be expected.
Dynamic block syntax is the following (see manual):

#+BEGIN: dynamic_block_name [args]
...
#+END:

You should not put dynamic block name after #+END:

Best,

Thanks! I cut-and-pasted out of the documentation, so it is a doc bug instead:

    (info "(org)The clock table")

I'll send in a patch if nobody beats me to it.
