Add source code block interpretation
The Asciidoc(tor) syntax enables the use of source code blocks.
Currently the content is treated as a literal block, with faulty font-style rendering, and without syntax highlighting or more advanced code re-use options. More advanced features could include the evaluation of a code block.
Example from the Asciidoc manual (ref):
[source,python]
-------------------------------------------
\include::test.py[]
-------------------------------------------
Example from the Asciidoctor manual (ref). Notice the shorter block separators.
[[app-listing]]
[source,ruby]
.app.rb

require 'sinatra'
get '/hi' do
"Hello World!"
end

In the atom-language-asciidoc package the vastness of language support has been tackled by using a generator script combined with a language definition to automatically generate the needed syntax parsing. This then generates the needed static grammar for the different code languages.
As the parsing in ELisp is done differently, I would assume the implementation itself could be more straightforward. Maybe some hints can be derived from org-mode
options, maybe regarding the babel
literal programming extension.
