Parsing Code Blocks

[Michel Fortin]

I've rewritten the code block grammar in the Markdown Extra [spec][]  
to match what Markdown.pl and PHP Markdown do. It should now handle  
things such as this:

~~~
 >     One
     Two

 >     Three
     Four

     Five
~~~

as one blockquote containing only one code block with five lines,  
equivalent to this one (using fenced code blocks instead for clarity):

~~~
 >     One
 >     Two
 >
 >     Three
 >     Four

     Five
~~~

I'm wondering though if code blocks shouldn't force a "non-lazy"  
syntax, which would mean yielding a result identical to this instead:

~~~
 >     One

     Two

 >     Three

     Four

     Five
~~~

Thoughts?
