Oh no. No ivory towers were erected in the making of my post.

Using a separate filter is simply more flexible, and likely,
more thorough. It will work regardless of whether the user wrote
actual `<code>` tags explicitly or used Markdown’s indented
paragraph or backtick syntax. It also reduces the amount of
code that has to be written overall (since it does not need to be
glued into Markdown specifically) – and every line of code less
to maintain is always a win. (The best code is no code.) And such
a highlighter can also be used independently of Markdown.

I’ve post-processed Markdown output. Not for this particular
purpose but it would be easy. Solved my problems too. :-)

Now this I can’t argue with.
