How about adding a ':' to make it a bit more obvious, e.g. [=cpp: ...=]
especially, since the markup [=...=] shows up all over the place when I 
write more complicated pages.

It's probably a good idea to demand the space as well, i.e. this does not 
give Cpp: [=cpp:...=] whereas this does [=cpp: ...=] (since [=...=] 
doesn't require a space).
